ELI5: Wouldn't it be cleaner to build bathrooms with push-to-exit doors? Does any thought go into the decision to hinge the door this or that way?

All of the bathroom doors, even the newer ones, at LSU are pull-to-open from inside the room. Wouldn't this transmit poop stuff from people more than a push door?

In many areas if a room has only one exit the door must open inward as a fire precaution.  If the door only opened outward and something fell in front of the door those inside would be trapped.

Fire safety is the bigger concern.
