Bard isn't really a melee depending on the build (Lore Bards play more like Wizards, while Valor Bards have a heavier emphasis on weapons and can double as a tank/archer), but they are definitely the caster most reliant on reactions.
They're arguably the most reaction-reliant class in DnD 5E, even more if said Bard decides to use their Magical Secrets to pick up reaction-reliant spells like Counterpsell. It's why once the devs implement proper reactions, everyone's expecting either them or Paladins to go along with it.
