What interests me about the ship is the ambiguity, since I agree to an extent with your interpretation. I feel both are manipulating one another and both would never put their feelings above their goals. That said, I don't think that L saying Light is his friend to throw him off means that it is completely dishonest. I think they were able to understand how each other think and engage with one another on a level that they've rarely experienced, and for someone so withdrawn and unique as L, I can believe that an enemy he had to engage so closely is something he could relate to friendship. I don't see that as going against the text, nor do I see homoerotic readings as incompatible with the idea that they are ultimately deceiving one another. I do agree a lot of shipping is OOC and dampens down their ambitions and animosity in favor of exploring the ship, to an extent that I don't love a lot of fic for them despite it being a ship I love. Just my two cents as a shipper, haha.

Not OP, but yeah, "Light is someone L could have been genuine friends or colleagues with, were the whole Kira thing not in the way" doesn't contradict canon. Sort of a "could have been."

Unfortunately "the whole Kira thing" is the entire plot and premise and the only reason they meet at all, so...
