Why don't they do that for everything? You can ask that about all the magic in all the books and films. It only seems to get used in plot-relevant times. At least for this there is a simple enough answer: the Wise are self-reliant people who don't want to run each other for help unless there is a very good reason. Even Radagast has a good enough reason to seek out Gandalf in person -- he couldn't very well have presented the Morgul blade for investigation if it wasn't actually there.
Could you please give some examples for this? I'm seriously drawing a blank on anything like this. I'm not trying to be stupid or antagonistic or anything, I just seriously can't think of anything. In The Unfinished Tales there is a story of a Drúadan who carves a statue of himself and leaves it to guard an ally's house. The house is attacked by orcs, but an unseen defender drives them off. The statue turns out to have a chipped leg in the aftermath, and when the Drúadan returns, it turns out that he has an injured leg. Since the LotR is told mainly from a hobbit perspective we never get a very clear look at how the wizards and elves do their communication, but it's often made clear that they have intercourse between each other from long distances, and can apparently see people in general from afar, in Celeborn's words, if they don't cloak themselves somehow. PJ seems to have interpreted that they can all use means that are similar to Saruman's, and I have no problem with that as long as it's handled well enough.
