Maybe it's the fact that most of them were 'cutting and running' for 'the west' when the going got tough in Middle Earth.

As someone has stated, the Hobbits were affected, eventually (supposedly they were 'unusually' resistant). Not only did Bilbo barely 'escape' by 'giving' the ring to Frodo (with a little timely assistance by Gandalf), but Frodo himself finally succumbed to the lure of the ring on Mt. Doom. At the last instant he couldn't bring himself to destroy it and claimed it for himself instead. It was only Gollum's 'timely intervention' (if not his intention) that resulted in the ring being destroyed (hope I haven't played the 'spoiler' for anyone
).
