The handle only on the outside of the door is quite a bit more ridiculous than what I was expecting. The old-style doors in German trains can also be hard to open. They have a handle on the inside, but they seem to require a considerable amount of force at times, and they have no clear indicator on when they are locked or unlocked. And the time to unlock after the train stops doesn't seem very consistent to me. They aren't very common anymore, but they do tend to confuse passengers that aren't used to them.
