Matt spends a lot of this volume engaged in black-and-white thinking, taking all the blame for events like he's the sole cause for what happens, calling 55 years of Daredevil history a mistake then doing the exact some stuff he did as Daredevil but now it's not a mistake because he's not wearing

the outfit, and thinking that if he's better and more in control then he can control what happens and therefore there will not be any bad outcomes ever again.

And, like, that's fine as an idea to explore. It's not necessarily out of character, but it's also not a healthy way of viewing things. There is no way to have so much control that you can force only the outcomes you want to occur to be the ones that do occur. It's not how the world works. Matt claims there's no randomness, and that's just plain wrong.

My issue isn't with Matt thinking all this--my issue is that I think Chip Zdarsky also thinks this. That Zdarsky thinks this way of thinking for Matt is correct and a good thing and an evolution for the character and not an issue he has to confront and work through.

It's not, it's wrong, and it's piss poor writing/characterization if subsequent volumes go in the direction that they seem to be heading.
