You can already easily kill a Barge with two VHFs, giving it Cruiser turrets wouldn't help much. It's not supposed to be able to defend itself. It shouldn't fly alone at all, since it's such a large ship.
And in general, I wouldn't make it available for all. I think there are currently enough of them.
