Basically in the past they were able to tame/control elephants and us them in battle but why not a rhino or a hippo?

A substantial number of animals are just not worth taming. All of the animals we’ve domesticated serve very specific purposes in hunting, transportation, agriculture, or labor.

Notice also that the animals we have domesticated are generally easy to transport and control.

There is basically no value to taming a rhinoceros. What would be the benefit?

The cost/benefit isn’t good, so it wasn’t done.
