I think it's a logical weakness. Gwaihir will fly Gandalf around Rohan and from Moria's pinnacle to Lorien, which makes it a fair question to ask why he won't fly a hobbit or the Ring itself into Mordor. He only transports wizards? I suppose it's inexhaustible because there are good grounds for contesting either side.
I'll say for myself that on first read, I never asked this question. You get immersed in the story and characters pretty quickly, and accept the authority and wisdom of Gandalf and Elrond. They're pretty thorough and look at all angles, including sending the One Ring to Bombadil or to Valinor, so if they don't bring up eagles, then it seems like that's just not an option anyone should consider, not even Boromir.
