1. Actually a lot of them are technological breakthroughs:
Shepard,
We recently had an incident involving the geth at one of our
outposts in the Skyllian Verge. Don't worry; I'm not sending you off to
chase anything down. Our operatives waged a highly successful battle
against a geth scouting party and credited their success to a new
advanced electrical attack device that we finally let them take out of
the lab. Since their unit is being reassigned for some rest and
relaxation, I thought you should take custody of the weapon in the
meantime. The weapon is called an arc projector. I sent it to the
Normandy's armory so you can examine it for yourself and use it if you
deem it worthy. It's gone through plenty of tests that indicate it
overloads kinetic barriers and synthetic enemies particularly well, but
laboratory demonstrations are a poor substitute for actual field
reports. We know it works. Now we want to see what it can do in the
right hands. If all goes well, we'll use your tactics to train other
operatives. -- TIM
As I said, anyone can make such a weapon. Read the description. Does it sound like it is out of this world amazing given the tech level in the mass effect universe? For instance, we can make a viable laser weapon today, but it isn't economical. We can make super soldier armored suits, but they aren't economic. Give Shepard's ability and situation it is understandable that he would receive such items, but those aren't items that would be mass produced and given to an entire army. Notice they gave Shepard THE weapon, not another of the same kind.

Cerberus Assault Armor is designed for shock troops, who are expected to
turn the tide of battle against creatures or forces that would decimate
normal soldiers. The troops demanded three things in its design:
shields, armor thick enough to last against a superior foe, and a
rechargeable pack to extend a heavy weapon power cell. The only drawback
of the armor is its weight, which the troops carry as a point of pride.
They have a saying: "Out of shape going in, in shape coming out." -- In-game description
The Cerberus Assault armour and eviscerator has been successfully mass produced and appears to be used by many of the Cerberus troops in ME3.
The Eviscerator, like the majority of the DLC items, is not designed by Cerberus. It's a commercially available weapon. Cerberus Assault Armor is just mechanized heavy armor. Nothing special requiring any technological advancement. It's the equivalent of improving a pistol by making one of a larger caliber and longer barrel.

2. If you re-read my original comment, I never gave Cerberus credit for producing the Mattock/GPS/Phalanx- but they did modify them.
Whoopty-do.

3. Collector armor does not contradict the lore. Collectors have been making deals with the Galaxy's races for centuries prior to ME2. Okeer for example made deals with them. Why couldn't Cerberus do the same?
Cerberus didn't. If you want to argue otherwise provide evidence. I don't have to prove a negative. The balls in your court.
Besides, Cerberus isn't in the business of helping mysterious non-humans.

As for that quote regarding the Collector beam- Cerberus are saying that they have been unable to replicate the beam gun itself. This doesn't mean that all Collector tech is too hard to replicate.
That was my point.
Why even bother to mention it at all since the tech is no different than our own tech? They just had to "modify it".
