I always thought that the fluid was specific to the transmission due to the seals and o rings that were used....

Yes and no
More for the clutches last that I knew off GM's have the friction material on the clutches Fords have it in the fluid.
At least that how I remember it from many moons ago

BRAD PENN III H Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is recommended for use in pre-2006 model General Motors automatic transmissions where a now obsolete Dexron® III fluid is specified and post-1981 and pre-2007 Ford automatic transmissions where a now obsolete Mercon® fluid is specified. Not for use in applications calling for Dexron® VI or Mercon® V fluids or in select transmission applications requiring specialized fluids. It is suitable for use where Allison C-4 and Caterpillar TO-2 fluids are required. Additionally, this product is suitable for use in the following applications: • Power steering units • Rotary screw compressors • Some automotive, industrial, mobile and marine hydraulic systems • Powershift transmissions in off-highway construction, agricultural and mining equipment. Always consult the equipment owner’s manual for proper fluid selection.

I have Dexron 3 in my 2004R. A lot guys, including myself in my TH350C, I mixed just enough Type F to colour Tractor Trans Hydraulic fluid. I actually plan on trying Dexron 6 mixed with Trans Hydraulic fluid.
My dad has a bottle of ATF from the 1990s from a store called Western Auto, before they became "Advance". Bought it for his 81 GP, never opened it.This was the last time I bought trans fluid and its been sitting in there ever since........
i always used some dextron version but this new 200-4r they listed 5 different acceptable kinds so i'm running type f. seems like you can run just about any kind in these as it's merely a hydraulic situation,i had a similar question a few months ago check this thread,some good input. https://gbodyforum.com/threads/what-is-an-electronic-transmission-really.69773/
