For the same reason Eru Ilúvatar didn’t simply strike Sauron or even Morgoth for that matter with lightning and solve everyone’s problems from the outset, I guess?

Right.
My point was simply that Mount Doom not necessarily the only place that can provide what is required.
There might be others that are jus not yet discovered.

The whole point of the story is that it is, though. It’s plainly stated, and the entire plot of all 3 books depends on it.

the missile doesnt need to survive mount doom, it just needs to survive long enough to accurately and precisely deliver the ring into mount doom. however that does not mean that saurons tower wouldn’t be susceptible to a missile attack. and honestly missiles are the dumbest way to deliver explosives. you could imitate asynchronous drone warfare using giant eagles. explosives are known even to orcs so it shouldn’t be difficult for them to figure some fun shit out.
