That might not be up to fire standards demanding doors in the hallway to be opened to the inside of the room.

Is that a thing?

Feels like something door closers make irrelevant.

You'd think fire code would require exit always be push, because that makes evacuating smoother.

If you have a bunch of people wanting to go through a door, you do not want them the be pull.

Even while orderly, requiring a crowd to step back to provide the space for the doors to open is not ideal.

I imagine it's because bathrooms have no point of egress, so the ability to block the bathroom door from the outside (intentionally or not) needs to be avoided at all costs for safety reasons.

yay critical thinking!

Assuming the bathroom is in a hallway, having the door open into the hallway would cause the flight path to be narrowed which would be against (some) fire code(s).

After all, significantly more people would want to flee through the hallway than out of a room adjacent to the hallway.

If they opened outward, they'd block egress in the hallway, which would have equal or more traffick than any single room connected and will enough people in the hallway, you wouldn't be able to open the door to escape at all.

For small spaces with limited occupancy, you can get away with opening into the room. Main exits are push, unless it opens onto a public sidewalk and not a stoop or something.
