Doesn't it also state that there's a barrier?
well, the simple key "barrier" doesn't actually state that there is a
barrier but that there is something "barrier-related". Barrier also
contains values like gate, entrance which are indicating _openings_ in
barriers.
additionally most barriers have to be interpreted different for different use cases: A cycle barrier is no barrier for pedestrians, but for cyclists and car drivers.
A bollard is a barrier for cars, but not for pedestrians and cyclists.

A gate can be different - and therefore it should be tagged explicit using the access-tags.

The barrier-tag in general should not be interpreted equal regardless of the value.
