The laying box sticking outside is a matter of convenience -- speaking as one whose run is rather inconvenient, the easy access box is a very nice feature. With our girls, every time we go in the run, 3 or 4 want to run out. Not that difficult now, but it won't be so easy when I'm collecting eggs. We only have a couple of weeks before we can expect the first eggs, so we'd better get working on our improvements!
