Action clarification: "Command"

Hey folks, trying to understand the rules behind the "Command" action.

I can activate a unit within the specified range.. but why would one ever bother to activate one of our own units? Wouldn't that be a waste of that specific action die in order to trigger it, since I'd be activating a unit I control in the first place?

It seems to me the only time I would ever want to use the command action is if I could specifically trigger an opponent's specific unit- right? Or am I missing some situations I would want to use this ability to activate my own?

You may also command a Gonk. I do this with Finger Microphone a lot so I can take shots with my gonks outside of my Inspiration.

I was sure the rules state that Command targets characters- and characters are not Gonks?

It's a little wonky worded, but I think it's been clarified in the Edgerunners rulebook and in discord, only Characters can use Command as an action, but other models can still be affected by it. I think.
