A train of thought...

Frodo brought the Ring to where it belongs (clearly, evil has no place in middle earth...unless of there are those who choose to fight it), but inspite of his purity (his hailing from the Shire which says a lot about obscurity, and his intentions to go at this alone risking the loss of his identity and wholesome self), he lost it and decided that the Ring was his at the last minute.

Enter Gollum. He is no longer a hobbit, and was forgotten by his own people, and Shire-folk barely remember a Smeagol existing when they were still cave-dwellers. He couldn't be called a Hobbit, and so he was a race of his own, a glitch brought by the malice of the Ring.

Both he and the Ring don't belong to ME, and so into the fires of Mordor do they perish.

They were glitches, and Frodo had to do the dirty work.
