Perhaps the reason why was the rings increased the wealth of the dwarf that wore it. It took gold to create gold, but the ring had a positive impact in that direction.
The Dwarves were created with the express ability to resist domination. What could affect both Men and Elves didn't affect Dwarves. Or at least not in the same way. The rings did increase the natural coveting desires of Dwarves.
