Does it make sense that barbarians and rangers can't weak ankheg armor?

I'm really left kinda irked both classes cannot wear ankheg armor, especially when I can imagine them doing so.

Also, wasn't ankheg armor wearable for barbarians one time ?

Ankheg plate mail is still a plate mail so barbarians indeed can't wear it since they are restricted to splint mail at most.

Unkitted rangers are able to wear it. Beastmaster, stalker and archer can't since they are restricted to studded leather armor.

Druids can wear ankheg armor because their restriction is ideological; no metal. For barbarians and ranger kits, ankheg armor is heavy armor, and they can't wear that because it would get in the way of their skills.

At least, that's the way it is in the current patch. I think an older patch let Archers wear non-metallic heavy armor.
