Mono-green decks lack a resource-light win condition. Without S&T, the only way to get Titan or Eldrazi in play is to actually cast them which can be difficult against decks that are devoted to destroying your resources (e.g. Pox, some draws from Shardless). Stage/Depths requires less setup and can win on the spot, so it can steal games that would be tough otherwise.

That being said, I used to play the combo but recently cut Dark Depths entirely because it was unreliable against most decks where I wanted it (Shardless has Jace and Strix, Delver has Delver). Ironically, I lost a game against Pox at GP DC last weekend that I would have won if Depths had been in the deck. An additional factor for me was the prevalence of Lands in my meta, against which having Depths is a liability.
