On the phone, the service adviser told me that the Automatic transmission is SEALED and that the transmission fluid inside is never meant to be changed. Changing it could potentially harm the transmission and I should never let anyone convince me to change it. Although I appreciated his honesty, I know that's literal bullshit lol.

So I waited, went in today to speak to the service manager and someone from the service department themselves and I got the same issue. I went in and they called one of the mechanics and they gave me the same answer. I showed them in the service book where it shows a "R" for Replace at 60,000 for the ATF and they still told me no. They looked it up in their computers and they claim "2013-2015 FRS is a LIFETIME FLUID"

With how much I drive the car in manual mode like it's made to be driven I know eventually I'll have issues not servicing. I just feel like im literally being fucked by Toyota for not purchasing the Manual. The guy who was working the service department told me the process of doing the transmission is extremely intricate and one mistake could leave me "walking" which is extremely true, but I've heard stories of other people having it done.

So now, I'm torn between attempting to find another place to change it and maybe they'll ruin my car, OR drive it without changing and in another 20-30k i'll just need a new car.

I would try another dealer and see what they say. I believe you are right.
