My point is, why is no one other than than God himself addressed?

There were other saints, Moses, and the other prophets, just like today there are many Christian saints and Mary.

Yet Jesus never addresses anyone else in his prayers. Why is that ?

Jesus is God. For fallen humanity, asking others (here on earth and in Heaven) to pray TO God for us makes sense. For God to ask others to pray to Himself for His good makes no sense.
