It's not optional in English in those examples. "I introduce" and "I introduce myself" have different meanings. Think of it similarly for the German reflexive verbs - they're incorrect or just different without the reflexive pronoun.
It can be tricky to remember which verbs are reflexive in German though, especially when they don't correspond to a reflexive verb in English. That's something I still struggle with too! Just need to keep practising...
Is there somewhere in duolingo where this was previously explained? It is absolutely maddening to suffer through these without any explanation. Sich, dich, mich, uns...my god just explain what reflexive verbs are and how to use them in a Tips. And then come into these discussions are mostly people asking the same questions over and over, some from years ago. Is it not obvious to the duolingo overlords this is so poorly explained (if at al)?
