Why would my AirBnB rental have all the door latches installed backwards [US]

Checked into an AirBnB and all exterior and bedroom doors had the latches seemingly intentionally installed backwards. The only doors in the house that had the latches done correctly were the 2 bathroom doors.

Photo is of the front door, since it didn't seem important enough to get pictures of all the doors that had this. Only the front door had a deadbolt on the door, that had a keypad on it. Other things were what I would call "creepy" about this house (placement of blink cameras, etc.), but this one confuses me.

What would be the benefits to the owner/landlord that would have them do this?
