I was under the impression that whenever you took the car in the for service that the computer automatically spit out a list of TSBs applicable to your ride. Am I wrong?

Why would they fix something that isn't broke? A TSB doesn't mean that every car is affected. If your car is experiencing an issue and there is a TSB on said issue, it will be fixed. If not, then it won't.

A TSB is different than a recall. For a recall, they will do as you said and fix it for every car that comes in. A TSB is only applicable if the customer is experiencing a problem. A TSB being created doesn't necessarily mean that all users will experience the problem.
