Toby build the suit to empower him so that he can proctect himself and showcase his abilities. He made clear that he is and will be Iron Man not because he feels responsibility of having power to protect but to boast about it. Now he realize the suit is not invincible, he realized the limit of his suit and his own mortality. He realized (through the event in the Avengers) even with his suit, he could be vulnerable. And to combat this feeling of vulnerability, he got obsessed with building more suits, improving its features. It's the logical choice, when you're under attack, the first thing you do is reinforce your defences. And in the process, he's no longer the Ironman. He let the suit become his cocoon. It provided a safe haven, but also separated him not only from the people he love and care about (Pepper), but also his own root of being a creative builder. He creates things, that's his ultimate strength. But the suit and his own fear caged that creativity.
So through the movie, Tony was stripped his high-tech lab, his suit, his money, he had to rely on home depot items and build things in a motel room. Yet, he succeeded in discovering the truth behind the Mandarin. That empowered him, make him realize his real strength.
Tony destroyed all his old suits as a declaration of his own inner strength. He's not afraid any more. He knew what he wants to do, and he doesn't need those suits to protect him anymore.
In the end, Tony realize he's not just Ironman, he's a lot more than a piece of shining suit.
"And so, as Christmas morning began,my journey had reached its end.You start with something pure, something exciting Then come the mistakes The compromises We create our own demons. Of course, there are people who say progress is dangerous. But I'll bet none of those idiots ever had to live with a chest full of shrapnel. And now... neither will I.
So if I were to wrap this up tight with a bow or whatever, I guess I'd say my armor was never a distraction or a hobby. It was a cocoon. And now, I'm a changed man. You can take away my house, All my tricks and toys One thing you can't take away...I am Iron Man."
Enjoy reading and be open to the things that world has to offer.
