Why are there closeup videos of solar flares, but it’s too hot on Venus and Mercury to send rovers?

Venus isn’t just hot. The atmosphere is toxic and it’s pressure is insanely high (around 75 times that of earth’s).
As far a mercury is concerned, I didn’t think there was enough reason to send a rover there. Mercury has virtually no atmosphere and is a lot like our moon. I wouldn’t imagine the cost of a rover type mission to mercury would pack enough of a scientific punch.
