[SW:TCW] Inconsistent Jedi powers

Greetings all! I am a padawan at the Jedi Temple and am preparing a research paper on the Clone Wars, and I noticed something strange while reviewing the archive footage. There are several situations where Jedi have an item of great importance they must protect or retrieve, are encountered by an enemy that seems their match in combat, or encounter a seemingly impossible choice. What I can't help but wonder is why they seem so reluctant to apply basic force abilities that would easily resolve most of these situations.

Master Kenobi seems especially guilty of this. He engages in lightsaber duels with both General Grevious and Tor Vizsla, both of whom he could have disarmed easily with telekinesis, as neither are force sensitive. He even uses telekinesis to throw Tor Vizsla, but doesn't even attempt to disarm him. Likewise, during the holochron heist he could have easily pulled the holochron from Cad Banes hand and prevented a difficult chase.

There are countless other examples of great and powerful Jedi like Obi Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Plo Koon, Kit Fisto, Luminara Unduli, and Mace Windu failing to resolve issues that could easily be resolved with even my burgeoning command of the Force. After all, delicate tasks like switching off a lightsaber or press a button would be very difficult to focus on during combat, but grasping an object is no more difficult than throwing an opponent, especially against a non force sensitive opponent.

Why Did so many Jedi neglect the very powers that led them to positions of such exalted leadership and trust, instead relying only on their lightsabers? (And don't even get me started on how many non force sensitives are able to keep up with Jedi reflexes in melee combat)

Vizsla was promised a fair fight, no Force shenanigans.

Grievous is a cyborg with enhanced strength and clawed feet that can crumple starship hulls. Telekinesis probably isn't the best bet against him.

The rest, you have to remember that the dark side is blinding the Jedi during the war. They're operating at less than peak proficiency - Mace even says as much before the war starts, that they should tell the Senate their ability to use the Force is diminished.
