It's supposed to be a commentary on internalized racism and cultural inertia but, because Rowling is a bit of a goof, she made it sound like racial essentialism instead.
Hermione and Dobby are not the weirdos, society is.
Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but it sounds like you're saying Celebrimbor forged the one ring, and Sauron poured his malice into it. That's incorrect: the one was Sauron's creation, which he made using the knowledge he gained from assisting in the forging of the seven and the nine.

Wait is Dobbi the real hero of Harry Potter?

The house elves yearning for subjugation means that Dobbi is likely seen as a villain

Yeah, I always have a tough time telling if Kreacher was an Uncle Ruckus or if Dobby was a traitor and deviant to his people.
Like, we think of it as Dobby (or any House Elf) being released from slavery, but I wonder if it is more like being a Ronin.

Came here to ask about this, I should have figured someone would have already given an explanation in the comments.
Not sure if it's accurate but I assume the hobbits' resistance to the ring's power might have slowed this down too.
