Yes, I found that lame. The movie is seriously going with "she cannot suit up, even though she's the most competent qualified, because daddy said so and has issue." LAME!!
Also, while it may makes sense for him, it doesn't make sense that she' just go along with it. It's established that not only is she highly capable and intelligent, but she has no problem defying her dad's wishes. So it'd make much more sense FOR HER to steal the suit and go, "I can do this better than anyone, I'm GOING to help Scott and just try and stop me old man."
And that's another issues. The defense for it is "well it makes sense for Hank to feel that way" or "it fits Hank's character," and so on. It's all about HIM and HIS issues. It takes a lot of agency away from HER and when you bring up that it doesn't fit HER character, people just kind of try to brush that aside without really addressing it. And having Hank just "gift" her with the suit at the end, giving her "permission" to do this basically, only makes this more obvious.
If you thought it worked, that's perfectly fine. But, while I did enjoy the film overall, this was the biggest flaw in it for me and it sticks out like a sore thumb.

He gifted her with the suit because it was no longer about what Hank wanted anymore. That's called character development.
Hope came back to her father once she learned of what Cross was up to. However, she could not outright disobey him because they needed each other to help put a stop to it. Not to mention this is a father and daughter we're talking about. two people trying to mend fences. The last time she went against her father, she cost him his job as chairman of Pym Tech. So she's partially at fault for everything
Your reasons for it being lame are some of the flimsiest I've seen on here. Within the context of the movie the reasons were fine. This sounds more like "Whaaaa but I wanted to see it this way" kind of thing.
