Sauron doesn't think they deserve the opportunity to try and his desire to control everything compels him to extend this to the mortals. Saruman believes in Sauron inevitably, yes, but also thinks all their efforts to help is wasted on mortals.

Radaghast believes this too, so he focuses on helping nature. The Blue Wizards, well, who knows. They're rumored to be defying Saurons cult but otherwise have abandoned the larger effort. The Elves fight, yes, but know their days are numbered.
Only Gandalf truly believes it is all worth it. Mankind is worthy of fighting for, even if they make mistakes. We just have to keep trying. Things will never be perfect, but through the actions of the little, everyday folk, something better can be made and when that all goes wrong, we try again.
