Wouldn’t installing a door frame the opposite way just make it stronger?

Like opening outwards instead of inwards, the frame would face the opposite way and be (I assume) harder to break inwards

That’s why building code states that you need to have them facing inward on residential buildings. So that firefighters and police can break your door down if necessary.
It’s also why commercial buildings have doors opening outward, so that is easier to break out of if you’re trapped inside.
Canadian here, that’s how it works where I live.
