I mean they are sidekicks I guess but not in the same way as say Robin or Speedy. I think the reason there are so many less is because most heros from marvel are part of a team like the xmen, avengers, fantastic four, and the others are loners mainly like spiderman who dont really develop much of a sidekick and when they do they dont really show up in any other comics besides universe they exist in. Bucky being the exception.
