Demand created sidekicks and the lack of demand has ushered in their irrelevancy.
The superheroes of tomorrow won't have sidekicks because of how fundamentally the demographics of comic book readers have changed. Plus I think for the most part the tone of comic books have changed so much that they would be out of place. We accept the Robins of the world because they have been grandfathered in. Were a character like Batman to spring up tomorrow people would say it had jumped the shark if it introduced a scrappy, young teen sidekick.
That's not to say that legacy characters are done with - just that they'll likely either be adult "sidekicks" like Bucky and/or Falcon or in their late teens. That way you still get some semblance of a paternalistic relationship whilst not stretching the suspension of disbelief too much. (See: John Blake in TDKR)

I have a sneaking suspicion that you're not going to have to worry about anybody calling you out on your sloppy Russian, Hex.
Just call it a hunch.

@Dblade26 You're doing great, man. I'm really enjoying your Moon Knight. Keep up the good work!
That would be great for good ole Cap but what I really need is a team song.
Really? You and I must have a very different view on Captain America.
I hear it and imagine someone like Booster Gold pumping this out of some speakers as he flies down in a uniform covered in sponsored decals and logos.
My body is ready for Batman vs Deathstroke.
You're not my dad! I do what I want! Gah, you're so overbearing sometimes.
You... erm... need to talk or something, bro?
Yo, if you've been approved and you haven't moved your shit over to the Characters tab - please do so. It makes all of our lives easier.
I'm not sure about Cable as True Neutral either.
Maybe someone like Uatu the Watcher would be a better example. Dude is about as neutral as you can get without being catatonic.
