The arrogance of it isn't superficial, it's the core of both plans.

Tony thinking that just because he is well-intentioned, everyone will be happy with an incredibly powerful thing he surrounds them with, without considering their concerns or opinions, is arrogant as hell. Also, Tony has had his tech misused multiple times before, it's literally his entire character conflict in IM1, and he should really take that into account by now.

I don't think arrogance is the core of Tony's plan. I think extremely well-founded fear is the core of Tony's plan. That's not to say there isn't a measure of arrogance involved as well, but that it's very much not what's at the core of the idea or of Tony's drive to do it.

I agree that one man taking it upon himself to build a global defense system that could, potentially, theoretically, be used for nefarious means is a problem.

But OTOH, in a world where aliens exist, and have nearly caused an apocalypse in the past, I think being able to protect the world on a global scale is a pretty sound idea. And it makes perfect sense that Tony is pushing for it as a priority.

How was what he proposed going to be any more effective than what the Avengers were already doing, in terms of protection on a global scale?

Also it's a bit too generous to call it "potential" and "theoretical" when three movies thus far have shown exactly how that tech can go back and zero have shown how it can end well.
