Who cares what else he makes for him? Spider tracers? Sure, bring it on. The kid can't even afford a computer, let alone poker chip sized spider shaped GPS devices. Who's to say Peter won't come up with the idea and Tony will help him build it? Someone has to pay for all this high tech stuff. It's not going to be Peter that's for sure.
Right... Remember when everyone was crying because they thought Tony made his web shooters? "Omg they're missing out on showcasing Peter's intelligence! Why would they do that?! Tony might as well give him his powers too!"
He made his own web shooters, he designed his own "first" costume with his own goggles to help him concentrate. He has an old crappy computer, he picks up old thrown away electronics for spare parts and what not. What else do you want man? Big deal, Tony gave him an upgrade with his suit and gave him the spider signal. Are we really going to cry about this now too? Wasn't the argument back in the day of Raimi and Webb that the costumes looked way too professional for a kid to make on his own?
We got the costume that a 15 year old would probably come up with. Then we got the high end "hero" costume because Tony paid for it/made it. It's perfect, yet we still find ways to complain... Spoiled us Spider-Man fans are, spoiled rotten.
Peter's intelligence is on full display in this movie whether you want to admit it or not. People are just nitpicking now. "I want my Peter Parker to come up with EVERYTHING on his own! Tony made his spider signal? OMG they ruined the character! He should be making them on his own!"
Always something to b***h about in here. They're doing everything right so far with Spidey as far as I'm concerned. Yet some people always find ways to bring it down, oh well.

First, regarding "who cares what else he makes for him", I have a hard time believing you (or most Spider-Man fans for that matter) would truly be ok with that. Forget what Marvel will do, you've now gone into hypothetical territory. You'd really be ok with Tony essentially making "whatever else" for him? I can't say I can begin to even understand that.
Second, Peter's always been very much like Tony when it comes to making inventions out of cheap materials. This is the same universe where we had two films about how Tony could take garbage and make something advanced out of it. "Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps!" ring a bell? Not to mention half of IM3 was him going out making weapons out of things from the dollar store. If Tony can do it, why can't Peter? By the own rules of the universe Feige established, Peter should be able to do it. The fact he doesn't immediately dumbs him down.
Third, there's a strong possibility Tony did give him a better webshooter. That's not something that can be ruled out. Peter discovered the spider signal entirely by accident. It begs the question of what Tony originally told him the new webshooter was for when he gave it to him.
Fourth, no one said anything about Tony making the costume. Not me, not PeterBenParker, not anyone else who posted here. A costume also isn't a gadget. That's another strawman on your part.
Fifth, it's not just about Peter's intelligence. It also hinders the creativity aspect - Peter couldn't at least come up with the idea of the spider signal? - and the teen empowerment aspect, the latter being the aspect that made Spider-Man as popular as he is today to teens who felt oppressed by society and by the state.
I'd bet money many people would flip **** if Sony did all this. But hey, Spidey's now in the MCU so s'all good brah, right?
