Tom Bombadil was actually a good omission from the movies.
Peter Jackson was just like "You know what, I know where to stop. There is no way I can personify this character in any meaningful way without entirely funcking him up."
I don't know if that sentence will piss people off or not, but I believe it to be true.
Edit: I forgot to mention how confusing it would make things for the less inclined to understand. "Wait, I thought only frodo could hold the ring?" "Wait, how come Tom Bombadil can't just take the ring? He's obviously magic. It would be super easy for him"
