Artifacts and Color Identity

Sorry to bother you yet agian mr Rosewarter, but i seek answers. Cards(more so artifacts) that have abilities that make colored mana (specifically "Ramos, Dragon Engine") but are not colored, dose this mean for commander that their color identity is WUBRG, and if so, what is the reason?Is the inherent difficulty of aquiring mana outside your commander's identity not a challenge enough that if you manage to get it, should it not be okay to use it?(of course, referring to activated abilities)

If a colored mana exists in rules text (but not only in reminder text) it counts towards the card’s color identity. Note that the Commander Rules Committee is in charge of defining color identity, not Wizards.

Artifact Creature Types

Q about creature types: is there a design reason behind why there are a lot of artifact creatures in BRO with a normal creature subtype? i.e. Simian Simulacrum being an Ape instead of an Ape Construct (or Robot), same with Fallaji Dragon Engine and Dragon (not Dragon Construct)

We tend to use Construct as a catch-all (for artifact creatures) when nothing else fits, similar to how we use Beast or Horror. But if we have a creature type, we don’t need to use Construct.

Mishra's Dragon Meld

I noticed Mishra's dragon engine has unearth on it, and unearth makes you exile it instead of putting anywhere else. How does that interact with Meld? Do you still get the melded creature or does it just go away when you try to meld them?

It works with meld.
