I don't know if anyone else has thought of this... but Merry and Pippin WOULD have gone with Frodo and Sam if they could... wasn't like they had a choice to be either carried off by Uruk-Hai or following Frodo and Sam, was it? I think all four hobbits had been through a lot and had all had a part to play in saving Middle Earth and destroying the Ring.
