Oh really? Sauron wanted to have a greater control over Middle-Earth by becoming more attached to Arda, less of a spirit. How better to do that than tie your spirit down to an anchor, preferably metal, as it came from deep underneath the earth? And so now we need an anchor so close to Sauron, so fixated to him that no-one imaginable could EVER take it away.
A ring! How is anyone ever going to get a ring on the Dark Lord's finger off of him? Well, the Numenoreans. And Sauron had already killed off Numenor by sending them to make war to the Valar. If it wasn't for Eru saving the Faithful, the plan would be flawless! No-one would ever have the might to challenge him again! Mwahaha! hehe hee *cough* *cough* . . .
