That's
one explanation.

Yet Galadriel wasn't one of the 'flirters' since she saw through his disguise, which caused Sauron to turn against her and led to her departure.

Again, that depends on how you interpret 'flirting with Sauron'. What, exactly does that mean? My take on it would be not that they were interacting with Annatar, but that they were 'flirting' with what Sauron symbolised - desire for power, control, domination - what else were the Rings for? They were 'flirting' with the Machine, & so was Galadriel. That's why she was tempted by the One Ring for a time. The 'later' Lorien is very close to the Machine. Its interesting that when the ultimate Machine (the One) is destroyed so is Lorien....
