But the Best Friend place, the one that goes to hell and back for you and that you would die for... that's Rhodey for Tony and Sam for Steve.

Yeah, I think you must've missed a ton of them. Tony's died for Steve. Stopped his heart in Execute Program, breathed in deadly spores in Red Zone. He didn't think he'd make it out of either alive, and was explicitly in no personal danger both times until he took it on to save Steve. But honestly, they're superheroes. They'll die and go to hell and back to save a passer-by. That's why they're heroes.

Rhodey and Sam were originally designed to be, and very frequently act as, Tony and Steve's supporting cast. So when Tony and Steve are in their own books, their closest friends tend to be Rhodey and Sam. When they're in a team book together, Tony and Steve tend to be each others' closest friends. And different writers tend to write their favourite friendships/characters.

NA

Agreed. And also, idk about Sam but Rhodey has not had a big part in Iron Man canon since Volume 1m 80s 90s canon, until after the movie came out and he got brought back into the fold in a limited capacity. But the current run is Fraction, and well... I think that says all there is to it.

In comics canon, one could also say Happy has been as close if not closer to Tony than Rhodey for many years (before he died... ):
