Because, remember, in the less than a year between Avengers and IM3 (Avengers takes place ~the same time it came out, IM3 takes place Christmas the same year) he built 35 separate suits of armor, which was caused by (and not helping with) his obvious PTSD. In the ~4.5 years since then (we can see Tony still using the Mk. 46 in the Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer, and most MCU movies after IM2 take place at roughly the same time they come out, occasionally give or take a few months), he's only built 4 more armors, the first of which (Mk. 43) is literally just a finished and bug-tested version of the last armor he built before he blew them all up, and the second of which (Mk. 44, A.K.A Hulkbuster) is arguably just an add-on to/extension of the first.

Yep, and sadly the writers of Civil War have largely missed/ignored it too, with the comments from Stark that Pepper and he are on a break because he couldn't stop working despite IM3 rightly framing that work as a symptom of trauma and unhealthy not something laudable.
