Probably because you didn't say Bear. Seriously a boar?

Maybe Gandalf took an alternate Class feature that traded Wild Shape for something.

At best he has levels of something more akin to the Witch class in DMG, but really his, and Saruman's, and Sauron's, casting come from them being, essentially, angels. Saruman probably has levels of Sage or something equally worthless, while Sauron and Gandalf seem to have levels of a martial class.

Strictly speaking, none of the characters of LotR have levels in any class. But a 5th level druid can call lightning and summon a giant eagle.
It can also turn into animals. While Shadowfax may be Gandalf's animal companion, I don't recall seeing Gandalf turn into a boar to gut an orc.

I guess he didn't like doing the magic item shuffle, or maybe he just thought it was cheesy.
