How do you figure this? I mean, if you had a song that only used two chords, F and A#, a capo on the first fret would let you play those "as if" they were E and A. Maybe it's not the nr. 1 purpose of the thing and maybe it's not always applicable and maybe it'll only save you one barre chord out of ten, but a capo does bar the strings for you and as such can reduce the amount of barre chords you have to play.
