Many homes have storm doors, usually on the outside. But, if the door swings out, instead of in, then the only place for a storm door is on the inside. Most front doors swing in, but not all.
I think doors that swing inwards are more common in most countries I’ve been. I think the reason is mostly security: if the hinges are on the outside it’s very easy to remove the door…
Although it’s probably still less effort for a robber to just break a window in most cases, so probably not always for security but rather started as a security measure and then people just got used to it…
here hinges are usually embedded in the frame, and we tend to use security doors with multiple locking pins so you can’t remove them when locked. it’s also safer in that if there’s a fire or something you don’t want to step back closer to danger to open the door.

only place i’ve ever seen doors that swing inwards is north america. it’s such a weird setup; the wind pushes through but inside air gets trapped.
