For example, if you need to create a new pass ( a funky pink material on several objects) you must create a take, and for each objects, assign the funky pink material. Most often in Houdini I create a new object and merge inside all the objects I want to be pink. But then, I must exclude this "merged object" from other render rops. I find this workflow slow and that is why I create this digital asset. Takes are not so easy to setup than an xsi pass.
