On him alone is any charge laid

There is one instance in which the ring caused his owner to "lose" it - Gollum. As far as the ring "caring" who its owner was, I think you are wrong (and going against your previous position)

It could make no further use of him: he was too small and mean; and as long as it stayed with him he would never leave his deep pool again. So now, when its master was awake once more and sending out his dark thought from Mirkwood, it abandoned Gollum.

On a similar line of though I argued previously:

At least, in this chain of events, Frodo would see what would happen to others when tempted; and perhaps this helped him a lot, when he later faced Boromir, who requested to relieve him of this burden.

I guess we both agree that Frodo going through a situation in which the ring is about to depart from him is quite... educational for him.
