There are sockets in bathrooms in Europe - and, of course, they are allowed in large bathrooms in the UK..
That may be so but I wouldn't do it. My arm is longer than 600mm and I can reach 1.5 metres from a shower!
Some people, usually women, seem to have an avertion to pull switches. A stern talk about the dangers of mixing water and electricity will usually overcome it.
Two of my prievous houses had switches outside the door. One of my first jobs was to replace them with pull cords inside. Hate it when someone looking for the hall switch plunges one into darkness while in the shower or sitting on the throne.

Who would reach 1.5 metres when showering to turn a light on or off?
Quite a lot of people if it was too dark.
I am 5’ 10” (1.78m) so would say around average height. To reach 1.5m, from a shower, would be such a stretch I’d just get out of the shower. I also have the sense of sight so would know it was dark when I entered the room.Quite a lot of people if it was too dark.

That adds a lot to the thread. I shower for a few minutes. I don’t recall daylight ending as I was in the shower.if you didn't, you wouldn't need to turn the lights on.
Maybe its a hostel on the sideDo you normally have people unfamiliar with the layout of your home, wandering about turning lights on and off?
The only valid reason to ensure the switch is inside the room, is where you have kids who might turn the light out for a bit of a joke.
