I prefer airport style bathroom entry and exits … there is no door, just a walkway that gives privacy to the entry so that you can’t see inside from the hallway.
Assuming the bathroom is in a hallway, having the door open into the hallway would cause the flight path to be narrowed which would be against (some) fire code(s).
After all, significantly more people would want to flee through the hallway than out of a room adjacent to the hallway.
For small spaces with limited occupancy, you can get away with opening into the room. Main exits are push, unless it opens onto a public sidewalk and not a stoop or something.
I think the door opening into a main area is not ideal. Like a restaurant with somebody carrying food having to swerve a bathroom door that opened unexpectedly.
You shouldn’t be touching any handles upon exiting a bathroom.
The door should be push to exit, so you can open it by pushing with your elbow.

That might not be up to fire standards demanding doors in the hallway to be opened to the inside of the room.
Is that a thing?
Feels like something door closers make irrelevant.
You’d think fire code would require exit always be push, because that makes evacuating smoother.
If you have a bunch of people wanting to go through a door, you do not want them the be pull.
Even while orderly, requiring a crowd to step back to provide the space for the doors to open is not ideal.

I’m fond of the paper method. Paper barrier to protect me from the gross handle.
