I am sure this has got to be a joke, right? You linked to a cable brake that lists it in the title. In terms of most hydraulic brakes you would be correct but these are all cable brakes and the first Shimano disc brake did use DOT fluid and SRAMs latest brake which is an entry level brake does use mineral oil.
