Depends on the door.
For example, placing an exterior door “inwards” in most architectural styles looks better aesthetically, but it also can make it possible to have a slip second lag in being able to get into the entry or getting caught on the entry. If also can obscure your view side to side when opening the door and peeping out or defending.
There are situations where you may want to have the exterior entrance shrouded like that though, and again- it really depends on the use case because there are of course countless structures and layouts and circumstances that can make one placement look or feel better or work best vs. the other.
Regardless the door will appear “outside” or “inside” depending on which side of the door you are on, so it is more a question of where you are standing and what looks or works best on which side of the door for either.
