 * No, there’s no sidebar hooks. Not built in to WordPress itself.

 * Why not?
 * Shouldnt there be?
 * How can i add content to the sidebar without having it as a widget and not editing
   theme files?
 * Because a lot of themes i have exists in newer versions but i dont want to upgrade
   because i have edited the sidebar.php now. And it takes some time doing that 
   with 100 themes.
 * any other solution for me? plugin or something in mu-plugins folder?

 * Not really. Header and Footer are required elements. Sidebar is not. I have themes
   without one, or with my widgets all over the place.
 * You know if you make a Child Theme, then you can edit your theme AND be able 
   to upgrade the master theme 🙂
