Well, if Melkor did raise them he raised them right in the middle of the Inner Sea of Helcar. Kind of hard to see how they could be the least use there.
I'm still sticking to my original theory that they were created during the fall of Thangorodrim.
(They were probably drawn that way by JRRT to make Mordor harder for the Ringbearer to get into. He may have never considered how they got there, but it sure is fun to speculate.)
