Except the Eye would have seen flying eagles. Not that it doesn’t ever see Frodo, but the point of the mission is discretion so they can avoid the Nazgûl as much as possible.
The difference here is that lifting the curtain gives a reasonable discussion of why a seeming plot hole couldn’t happen. But it raises massive world implications in HP.
Also having The Eagles anywhere near The Ring would have been more ruinous than giving it to Galadriel. The Eagles are as powerful as Sauron, if not one power tier higher. Even giving it to a Human, Dwarf, or Elf would have made The Ring stronger than it was in the hands of a Hobbit that wanted to destroy the thing.
Gives off the “Why didn’t they just fly eagles into Mordor?” vibes.
That is a fucking fairy tale book for children and teens. What did you expect? Logical structure like in 1984 or something?

A minimal level of coherency would be nice. Even fairy tales operate within a world with some rules.
