Sacrifices weren't just physical stuff. Minerva had her own life and accomplishments even if she was crapped on.
Her initial wish was just to be someone else(Diana) and got her abilities but lacked her character (how each handled the rapist) which is what Diana was trying to tell her she's not what she thinks. The whole point of the opening defeat for kid Diana is that she can't have everything just because. Diana has had her own trial and tribulations.
Then Minerva tosses that away to become something not even human.
Diana learning to fly was her emotionally letting go of Steve as a physical being but him still being with her even if it's not in the way she wants. The can emotionally move on.
The armor is a made up of her ancestors so she goes back to get it to face Max. Knowing she might have to make the same sacrifice Artemesia did.
Again Max is falling apart and the stone's taking it's toll. Echoing back to the opening scene she reaches him by telling him and the world the same lesson.
Yeah. That's a cheat.
