I started out as a barbarian but wanted access to all armor proficiencies. I dual classed into fighter, but I am still not proficient with all armor classes. Is this a bug or a rule feature of dnd5e?
Multiclassing doesn't necessarily give access to all the proficiencies you'd gain with it as your starting class. In particular, multiclassing into Fighter only gets you light & medium armor proficiency, not heavy armor.

If you multiclassed solely for the reason of getting access to heavy armor, you want to multiclass into cleric instead. Forge Domain, Life Domain, Nature Domain, Order Domain, Tempest Domain, Twilight Domain, and War Domain get proficiency with heavy armor at level one as a subclass feature.
