I'd add my voice to those that say it's simply because your average hobbit doesn't want power. For an example, look at Sam: he had the Ring on not five steps out of Mordor, it threw its entire will into convincing him, and yet his "hobbit-sense" reasserted itself, informing him that he was NOT fit to rule, thanks muchly, and all that he really wanted was his own garden.
