most of the deadbolts in my house were like that when bought it. The exterior doors all have panes of glass; I think the theory is that it would be too easy to smash the glass and then reach through and unlock the door if there were knobs there.
In the end, I decided to err on the side of easy egress and replaced the inside locks with knobs.
