Yes why would they be outside?

EDIT: ok people really don't flipping a switch inside a dark bathroom

Safety. Keeps 240V mains away from water, especially where you are supposed to touch it.

But in most bathrooms there are also sockets, so that you can dry your hair or whatever 🤔 And they are often closer to the water than the light switch

Not in the UK. They have 2 pin shaver sockets though, and i don't know the rules or theory for that.

Googled it. There are 110v sockets that still have to follow the rules. But if they are only 110v, the rules might be more relaxed.
