I could see that as being the simplest/least failure prone way to design a closing mechanism that doesn’t need to resist the immense pressure to maintain integrity, but rather is held more forcefully to the hull as the pressure increases. Certainly you could design something like that that bolts from the inside instead, but perhaps the problem with that is that they cant exactly carry along with them various tools and equipment they might need in the event that there is difficulty reopening it.
