Christ's Completed Mission
Commentators overwhelmingly explain that the Son's 'subjection' does not imply inferiority. Rather, it signifies the successful completion of His special mediatorial mission. Having defeated all enemies, including death, Christ the Mediator hands the perfected kingdom over to the Father, His specific task finished. As Spurgeon notes, this is the end of the 'Mediatorial system,' a moment of triumph, not demotion.
