All Exos were once human (and technically still are human). Back in the late Golden Age, scientists were trying to developed ways to help the human mind and body better withstand traveling amongst Vex structures and systems. The result was the Exo.
When the Golden Age came to a close and the Collapse began, the Vex started to attack us and claim our worlds, so we retaliated by mass producing what was best at fighting them under, all watched over by a Warmind. Exos are made by inserting a human mind into a mechanical body, and many people volunteered for this, creating the large population of Exos we know of today
After the Collapse, all knowledge of how to create Exos was lost, so now those few left amongst us are all that remain of one of the Golden Age's greatest legacies

Vex are better than Exos (non-Guardian) in every way.
-
That's a matter of perspective. Vex are far more intelligent for sure, but wether or not a lack of emotion and creativity makes them better or worse changes depending on the person I personally side with you and believe that having a lack of creativity does not make them inferior, as they are so skilled in the art of deducing events based off of facts that most things cannot outperform them

Also their architecture is so simple but complex, reminds of the Forerunners and their art-style from Halo 1-Reach.

"Inserting a human mind to a mechanical body" so why did they needed a hole planet for cayde?
-
I'm assuming you're referring to the theory that Cayde is Rasputin. We have no proof whatsoever that Andal was right saying Cayde was Rasputin and there's actually a mass of proof against it, including the fact that Cayde was once human A Warmind, unlike Exos, is artificial intelligence (AI) and needs that massive amount of hardware to contain the vast analytical processors required to perform their tasks and provide them with all the proper tools. To consider that something so vast could exist within an Exo's frame is ridiculous. A portion of a Warmind's vast intelligence could be inserted into a machine body to perform specific protocols, theoretically, but whatever was in that body certainly would not act so human as Cayde does

You got me wrong i was referring to caydes origin if i remember correctly a planet close to saturn played a big part in his transformation from human to exo
-
Oh sry Saturn was probably just the planet he underwent the process on. We know that many Exos were around Jupiter so considering Saturn's proximity to it that could be another location of the transference machinery. Either that or he was on Saturn when the decision was made for him to become an Exo

Saint-14 best Exo.

Thanks for explaining that! :D You sir are kind.
