    Most rooms I’ve seen have the light switch right next the door, most bedrooms don’t also keep their bed right next to the door. I’m assuming most people also don’t want to run wire through the walls wherever they’re renting/living.

            yeah we don’t tend to have logical home choices like that over here in Canada

            we also like to design bathrooms in such a way that the sink is immediately in front of the opening door, which means you’re not allowed to put the light switch adjacent to the door knob of the closed door position where it would be really convenient and intuitive, which means it’s usually awkwardly beyond the door knob in the open door position, because we never have light switches outside of the room they control

              Oh we have light switches for bathrooms outside the room for some reason. You’ve not lived until one of your siblings turns off the light while you are showering.
