That would have very little to do with Frodo and Nienor themselves. The answer partially (even though just partially) concerns them, it's not just like "their relatives met a dragon" - that doesn't have much to do with them personally. Besides, like I said above, it's a thing which is not that common (many people in the stories have met dragons). And it has something to do with "status" or something like that, of the people...
