I'm guessing it's just that he's typically established as broke and it's hard for someone broke to make an advanced suit. I just liked that he used Horizons tech since it's a bit more realistic. He did do something similar in one comic where he dumpster dived for clothing.

Someone else making the suit for him, in my opinion, is downplaying his brilliance. He's making it here, just using Horizons material. Tony Stark in the MCU made Peter's suit and I didn't like it, since it wasn't really Peter who made it.
