A level 20 Barbarian with maxxed Dex (20) and Con (24 thanks to Primal Champion) doesn't need armour: she has a base AC of 22 and can still use a shield for a final AC of 24 or Bracers of Defence for AC 25. That's better than Plate & Shield (20). And she takes half damage from many attacks when raging.
Of course, a fighter gets 4 attacks to the barbarian's 2 (3 when she's raging) and has a better critical range, but the fighter has fewer HP, a worse AC, doesn't get damage resistance.
Hmmm... I can see Clerics taking a 1 or 2 level dip into Barbarian for this class feature.
