SPOILERS! Why was Tony Stark the only one willing to do what was necessary?

You know, one thing has been puzzling me... Why the hell didn't anyone use the stones sooner to eliminate Thanos and his army?

During all that fighting at the end, Hawkeye had the gauntlet, then Black Panther and then Spider-Man, and then finally Captain Marvel... But no one dared to use the damn thing? Why? Were they just not willing to die? I mean, I know it's not an easy thing to give up your life, but if Tony had the will to do it then why didn't the others. I mean, Captain Marvel seemed so strong she'd probably have survived using the stones, anyway.

All the time the whole plan just seemed to be to get the stones into the past and away from Thanos. But why? They weren't beating him and his army without the stones, that seemed to be clear.

Maybe I missed something, but I'm just wondering why literally no one even suggested using the stones to kill Thanos.

His armor probably help him from dying immediately, but remember, most people explode from any contact with the stones.

I suppose he is the first one or only to whom that idea occurred. I honestly hadn't thought of it. While the battle was raging I kept thinking you've got to keep it away from Thanos, get that thing out of there. I never thought, why don't they (Hawkeye, or Spiderman or whoever) put it on and get rid of all of Thanos's army.

Well, obviously because they are all dum dums and not a genius philanthropist like Tony Stark, duh.
