Mercedes and BMW have been sucking the oil out through the dipstick hole since the 90s.
It's why on most models, the the oil filters are on top of the engine.
For an oil service, the vehicle does not need to be lifted on a hoist.
It comes down to the same scenario...you are only meant to keep the vehicle until the warranty expires, then you buy a new one.
