Which makes sense in a world where not everyone has their aura unlocked and there are monsters intent on destroying everything you are.''' The exact same logic can be used for the idea of the Barriers being produced by tech. Because they can be used by people without their Aura unlocked, via technology. Technology that generates barriers, and uses Dust as energy just like nearly every piece of tech in Remnant. Like Lightning Dust, which is known to exist, to begin with.

Considering Barrier-generating technology is an extremely common idea in anything that involves Tech more advanced than ours, so we can't just assume Monty and co. went for something else.
