The Hobbits being the most industrialized guys in Middle Earth has always been kinds funny to me. Everyone else is living in ancient stone halls or thatched roof cottages and they've got mechanical clocks and shit like that. They're like an enclave of Elizabethan ish England while everyone else is pre-battle of Hastings

That's kinda like writing a fantasy setting where most of the races are living in an equivalent to the early modern period, like telescopes and printing presses are still cutting edge technology, but then there's one race of chill dudes who live in a tiny village of Khrushchevkas and drives Trabant 601s to the local cinema, which is an awesome concept now that I think about it

It's mostly cause The Hobbit was originally it's own lil story and the only Tolkien could get his nerd shit published was as a sequel.
