If Sauron had the Nine, then they would have been lost in the fall of Barad-Dur (which would not be raised again for centuries).
If we accept that Sauron had the One with him in Númenor and was somehow able to trasport it with his disembodied spirit back to ME, why could he not have done the same with the Nine after his defeat by the Last Alliance?
