[MCU] why does Doctor Strange never push Thanos Astral form out of his body? Or Ebony Maw or anyone else?

We only ever see it performed on unsuspecting people and it seems to require close, if not physical, contact (something that Strange never really has with Thanos or the Maw).

It also may not work. Strange and Banner were 'stuck' in their Astral forms probably because - until that point - they had no clue what an astral form was. Once you know what the Astral form is and how to manipulate it, it's a trivial task to simply reenter your body.
