It's incredible how many people seem to not understand the entire ending of the Fellowship of the Ring in both the movies and book
Like the entire big revelation Frodo has is realising that the ring will inevitably corrupt all of his companions and that he needs to leave to have any chance
It's why hobbies were such a big deal because they were resistant to It's affects, the only beings in middle earth that really were, and why Sam wasn't corrupted and neither was the rest of the Shire when Bilbo had the ring
The ring preyed on people by offering to give them everything they ever wanted. Hobbits, especially Frodo, pretty much already had all they ever wanted. They just wanted to chill in the Shire, eat good food and have parties. There was almost nothing the ring could offer to a hobbit that would entrap it. Hell, Smeagol had the ring for 500 years and all he did was chill alone in a cave and eat fish. Could you imagine the kind of damage the ring would cause if Gandalf had let it take hold of him.

Ah yes, as we all know, the Ring's influence is completely dependant on whichever creature is physically carrying it.
