I'm new and you aren't wrong but you can totally use the radios in the house. I have made contacts from inside the house. Just want to clarify this for others.
A common approach is to have an outdoor radio/antenna that connects you to others but you use a handheld in your house if you can't reach your outside node via bluetooth.

You gotta generalize for new users and then "well actually's" they can figure out on their own through experimentation.

Fair.
There is a lot of hype about Meshtastic right now and I'm betting many will be pretty disappointed by the limitations. Its inevitable. I hung my radio about 50 feet up in one of my trees and wasn't able to reach anyone.
My contacts have been made when people fly over with radios and connect many nodes.
