gene, ever hear the saying "rust never sleeps"?
There is more to antifreeze than freeze protection! If the corrosion protection is depleted, just because the vehicle is stored doesn't mean nothing bad is happening inside the cooling system. And how easy is it to have had that leak last summer, top it up with water, forget about it...
Same with oil. The older engines that were inefficient when new, may or may not have thermostatic controlled cooling systems, commonly get started, idled, and put away, and have poor crankcase ventilation, are very hard on oil. It's not the hours, it's the contamination. The contamination depletes the additives that provide corrosion protection. Once the additives are gone, the oil will get acidic. The acid combines with moisture, which tends to condense in the top end. End result is a stuck engine! So, why not get rid of the old oil before it's stored? Then it will be ready to go next season or whenever it's brought out of storage!
