I'm sure that RDJ's own alcoholism may have played a role there as well. Don't want to trigger a relapse.

Yeah, I also read his wife was concerned about the idea at the time. Which is completely fair, but I personally think that it's part of why RDJ worked so well as Iron Man, he could relate to the character.
