@JeremyECrawford If I play as a Mountain Dwarf and take the Heavily Armored feat, am I meant to be able to use a shield?

Neither Dwarven Armor Training nor the Heavily Armored feat give you proficiency with shields. #DnD https://t.co/JcWr5uyPnD

Is that intentional or does the feat presume you would already have shield proficiency, since you would in all other cases. https://The feat is not meant to give you shield proficiency.
