"Take them" implies that they are important, but does not definitively state that they are required. It's like saying in Legend of Zelda "Triforce pieces are good. Take them." It's massively understating the importance of the Triforce, since you can't beat the game without all the pieces.
Let's just leave it at "some people were confused". Because honestly, in terms of user experience, that's all that matters.
How would you interpret: "Lunch is good, take a lunch break," vs. "Take a lunch break or you will be fired."
"Eating is good, grab an apple" doesn't imply "eat something or eventually you will die."
