What movie feats does Sauron have that would allow him to really do anything? In his physical form he's as helpless against physical attacks as anyone else since Anduril is never explicitly stated to be magical sans the general Elvishness, in the movies, and in his spirit form he didn't do a whole lot either.
At best you're looking at a stalemate as he can't be killed but neither can he actually harm anybody.
In Dol Guildor. I could think of several instances in the trilogy where him being able to manifest himself at will anywhere would have been helpful.
Like... when he watched helplessly as Frodo, Gollum and Sam played grab-ass in Mount Doom for 5 minutes before chucking the ring into the lava.
Even if we assume there were extenuating circumstances behind that incident, the trilogy makes it pretty clear that his ability to pop up and rape people is at the least very limited.

Because he had established a manly base in Dol Guldur and has been gathering his power there for years.
And? The idea that he can only use his magic powers at Dol Guldur is frankly completely unsupported throughout the films.
Edit: Actually its outright contradicted when we see him mind **** Pippin.

Even if he survives... so what? After his body is ****ing rekt he won't be able to do a single ****ing thing for years. That's a forum win.
So angry. But fair enough.

So let me get this straight, there are two instances of Sauron using his power directly in the films. The first is in a place which was corrupted over a period of time and established as a base for his power. The second was through a magical medium that gave Sauron direct access to the object of his assault despite the long distance.
Glad you agree. 👆

So you are running on assumptions. Gotcha.
Once you have concrete evidence that Sauron's power was enhanced at Dol Guldur or that only there he somehow had access to his abilities post it.

Through which he mind raped Pippin (and Aragorn). ✅

I don't need to prove that Sauron's disembodied spirit can only be used through circumstances like the ones mentioned.
You need to provide evidence he has any power outside of that and can bring it to bear whenever. 👆
Just one example. That's all you need. Just one. 🙂
