Its a google search: the priority algorithms are based on search history and other factors and so different people (and even different times) will show different results.On a third look there is definitely more plate than my original overview. Some results seem to have changed as well, but lets take a look as it is:
Most of the images are the ones I saw, although the order is different. It looks like some of them that I considered wearing half-plate, based on that table you posted, you consider are wearing banded or splint.There are 28 fighters there, 2 of which are duplicate (1 on each side), so 26.
13/26 are not plate
13/26 are plate
So 50% on both sides. Definitely different than my original analysis. I would say that is still consistent with my choice of the base class not having plate. Perhaps more archetypes should have it.
But frankly, I do find this an odd method for determining whether or not a particular class should get capabilities.
My problem with heavy amor proficiency isn't fighters, but clerics.
War clerics, i get. Heavy amor proficiency is fine.
But Tempest? Okay, maybe.
Nature and Life? No; just no.
Divine inspiration.

If exhaustive training can't teach you to wear heavy armour, but swearing an oath to the right deity does, it is logical that some clerics can do it as well as Paladins.
