Yes? I'm not saying it's unnatural for him to want control over his tech and weapons. Just that he does.
And Maria Hill herself offered him the Directorship at a time when he felt responsible for a lot of the clusterfuck which was going on.
...yes. And he felt no one could do it better, so he took it on. I'm not attacking him for this. He's a smart and skilled guy with a sense of responsibility, it's part of why he's a hero. However, when he bites off more than he can chew, takes responsibility for things he has no right to, or stretches himself too thin, it becomes a weakness. That's how a well-rounded fictional character works.
I think it's worth noting that whenever he *does* trust somebody, he eventually ends up making them their suit / some kind of super-hero.
There are people he trusts that he hasn't made suits for. But the point is, he's still insisting that he should maintain tight control over who handles and uses the weapons. He has in the past attacked people thinking they were using his tech, only to find out they weren't.
