I always thought that if Sauron OR Melkor ever did completely conquer ME they would get really bored (sounds silly i know) but imagine this, before total domination of ME men, elves and dwarves shuddered at the thought of this prospect. The very idea of being taken captive would terrify anyone. The idea of his black shadow encompassing the whole of ME caused great leaders like Denethor to lose all hope of a better time. This would be fantastic for Sauron knowing that he was causing such pain. He was having to make a bit of an effor to do so and once he was in control he would no longer have to make an effort to scare the free ppl as they would no longer be free. I t would be no challenge. He wouldn't be getting as much satisfaction back from it.
Hope u understand where i'm coming from with this thought.
