Whether a fighter is a knight in plate armour or not is entirely up to that fighter. You could be a knife fighter in cloth or a knight with a two-handed sword and platemail and you're still a fighter. The key to that statement was meant to be that a fighter is better at fighting in any given armour than any other guild in that same armour, not that you must wear any particular armour.

The Spec category should be reserved for those whose primary profession is some specialized craft.
Fighter's craft is combat, thus the reason they'd use the specialized category.

You also hint that spellcasting and lock picking might be possible
That particular 'hint' is listed under the section labeled Current Description and is in no way implying that there will be crosstraining for fighters.
