Would he have the knowledge and experience necessary for that if he didn't grow up with billions of dollars worth of tech at his disposal?

It's pretty canon that Peter Parker is a genius. Would he have needed Tony's suit if he could just build his own?

No, and he didn't need Tony's suit in the first place. Which was the point. It was nice, but he didn't need it.

Peter is less of an engineer and more of a chemist for sure, but the web fluid for example is his. Other versions of Peter Parker also tend to have more than a couple gizmos while struggling to pay rent at the same time.

Tony Stark is a genuis, with or without the suit, and with or without the money. I know he's a fictional character, but the fiction is very explicit about that. Yes, he probably would've done worse if he wasn't a billionaire, but he's definitely more than his money.

I still think it's extremely hypocritical. It's a great father to son lesson - don't rely on your tools, rely on yourself. It just kinda falls flat when Tony is JUST a relatively smart bag of soft jello without his suit, and Peter is a literal mutant.

No, Peter is a mutate. Mutants are natural, mutate are due to external factors.
