While the tokens are exiled at the beginning of the next end step, they can be used for pushing damage through to an opponent or even creating blockers when casting spells at instant speed
When two cards are exiled and melded, they each leave the battlefield, then return together as one new untapped object with no relation to either of the objects that left the battlefield
Gogos base ability is already on par with cards like Strionic Resonator, and its scalable, so you pay 2 mana for one copy, 4 mana for two copies, and so on
If past releases like Ezuri, Stalker of Spheres haven't lifted Sage of Hours to the stratosphere, I suppose it makes sense the new set - while very popular - wouldn't either
If trading individual cards, trade-in for cards that can go in multiple decks : This is similar to the reason for rare and mythic dual lands
Then the very next set you could start to get 4/4s for 5 mana with abilities
