A Barbarian can Rage, then attack 2-3 times with higher damage, and have damage Resistance for the rest of the combat. A Fighter cannot.
When the next turn rolls around, Rage gives Barbarians advantage on Strength checks for Shoves. A Fighter doesn't get that.

Fair, not fair. It doesn't matter. They have different tools at their disposal. Yeah, the Fighter can use their Bonus Action to shove, but they also have a higher chance of failing the STR check compared to a Raging Barbarian.

The Fighter could also need to Second Wind because their HP is low. Does that mean Second Wind shouldn't be a Bonus Action because they can't shove?

A Paladin needs a Bonus Action to use Smite spells. So those shouldn't be Bonus Action because they can't shove?

This is the exact same problem a Dual Wielding Martial class would have. It doesn't mean Barbarians are suddenly left out in the cold. That's ridiculous.
