Why not let them dry out inside a barn? I’d imagine leaving them out, exposed to the elements, would allow for a higher likelihood of fodder becoming mouldy?

Most of the hay around here is dried in the field before it is bailed. It really depends on the type of hay and the animal it is used for. Not just because of the risk of fire.
The big giant cylinder shaped bails you typically see just sitting out in fields are for cows. Cows are fine eating/digesting moist and moldy hay.
The small square bails, which is the stuff around here that they let try in the field after it is cut, before it is bailed, is for horses predominantly. Horses need properly dried hay, trying to feed them round bail hay could kill them depending on the levels mold they are ingesting.
