No one is denying Sauron's *ability* to destroy Gondor. What we're arguing against is that he is both willing and able to raid. Gondor holds the crossings. Sauron isn't sending out a massive army. If he did, the crossings would be forced. But the raiding parties can't cross.

Plus, in Unfinished Tales, it says the purposes of assailing East Osgiliath was to test Gondor's strength, meaning they hadn't before, and to capture a crossing-point for the Nazgul, meaning they had no crossing point.
