1. Not being able to be dropped Turn 1 doesn't make a card bad. It'd be like saying the original Omni Drum and O-Yamigedo are bad since if you call them on turn 1 they won't have access to their effects, when in reality they're just not meant to be used that early.

2. Gratos does indeed cost 3 gauge to call. However, consider for a moment how almost no other Black Knights use gauge, as well as the fact that DDW has access to Devil Stigma to give them a pretty solid gauge supply. Plus Black Knight decks enjoy the idea of a few copies of Accel End, which not only fills the drop up, but it also gives you some gauge.

3. While it's not really a point for either of us, a multitude of decks use expensive to call monsters as buddies because of their vast staying power of potentially game-shifting abilities. Some more notable ones off the top of my head are Marshal Fortress and Grangadez.
