A checklist is supposed to be like that.

Remember you are not making the checklist only for you. If you work for a company they need to have prove that the checks have been done correctly. This is a form of auditing.

Also, if you reduce the text on that list then you have a checklist. So basically you generate 2 separate documents. One is the checklist, other one explains it.

Depends how you look at it.

They read like advise on how to do things, rather than a list of things that are required to do before you launch.
