I’m on vacation, not near the books, but I’m assuming someone more knowledgable can fill in. There’s a line about how Sauron was breeding the flying-worms, so it took a long time, and they weren’t “ready” until he unleashed them. And the unleashing was designed to bring terror (and surprise) to the West. Thus, the Nazgul were stuck with horses and Harleys until the flying-thingies were unveiled.
That was morgoth back in the first age, not sauron.
Going after Shire … Baggins… was a covert mission involving some intelligence gathering. In our world you don’t see Navy Seals riding around in B52s either, most of the time.
Sauron to Nazgul:
Um, I’m going to need to work this weekend…
Great, now I have a vision of Thw Witch King and 2 of the weaker Nazgûl stealing Sauron’s seeing stone and taking turns smashing it to bits in slowmo.
Can you tell how tired I was last night? I left out a “you”
oh well

OK, so that beggars the question about the other rings. The elves kept their 3 rings, but what about the dwarven rings, so if he kept one finger free for The One Ring, where did he wear the dwarven rings, on his toes?
