I get the idea of fannish activity really skewing what's actually happening in a show or film. And yes, for all that's been written about it, one would assume we'd seen way more of Steve and Bucky than we've been given on screen. A lot is really read into it. I think it's even worse for MCU storylines (or any film really) because there's so much less time for anything to get developed than in TV.
That said the MCU is definitely meant to be viewed as a serialized story, so there's more about Bucky in Cap 1 (and Ant Man follows Winter Soldier). I actually thought that the worst deficit in their bonding was in Cap 3 where it's so critical to the central plot yet it's more something we know than we actually get to see.
I think what's also underexplored, although there if one looks, is that Steve may have company but he's also alone and trying to adjust to his new life where everyone he's known and many things he used to know are dead and gone. Hence his first exchange with Sam and his visit to Peggy. So it isn't simply that he and Bucky were like glue growing up, but that Bucky is actually alive and in the same condition that Steve is. Bucky is, for all purposes, an unexpected chance to go home again.
Maria Hill was in Avengers 1,2, and 3 and Nick's trusted second.
Actually Hydra and the Nazis worked together during WWII but they're not the same groups -- though, yes, evil. (Agents of SHIELD spends a lot more time on them).
