Why xTaskCreate() is used? #51

Hi. I have slightly understood the purposes of task processing of Arduino. I wonder ESP32-BLE-Mouse works well without xTaskCreate(). Does skipping(bypassing) this xTaskCreate() invites some troubles? I believe that skipping may invite some delaying. However ESP32-BLE-Keyboard does not use xTaskCreate(), doesn't it?

I have the same question. Based on FreeRTOS doc, sigle core ESP32 like C3 may suffer stability issue using task/threading functionarity? Also the way it is used is to offload the initalization, which might be a nice thing if worked, but not an essential improvement?
