Remember, gherkin steps are evaluated on the step definition. So a step defined as When(), Then(), Given() can be used for any the step implementation in feature file. Meaning, the terms When, Then, Given can be interchanged (along with And, But) where it is appropriate. Perhaps about your question, the examples were so simple and may not have a reason to add Then.

For me, I have one entire feature defined just with 'defineStep()' which I use for all of the Given, When, Then, And & But. Each ones approach is different, but it works.
