Vienna Gambit theory for MLP8

I saw you play this

These lines are why the Vienna Gambit isn't really played at the Top level, black gets a very comfortable position. The whole premise is that white tries to build this strong center by baiting nxc3 and then bxc3
Why would black not take the free pawn c3?
also are the doubled pawns not an issue?
1. It lets white play d4 and get a big center
2. No, if it strengthens the center it's fine
