That has to be a safety feature from shortly before the government mandated magnetic door handles.

You mean magnetic door seals, right. If all fridges had inside escape handles they would not have had to go to magnets....

I've heard stories* of folks getting locked inside of old latching style fridges and suffocating or the like....

*From my mom in the 90's when in our old town we would see such fridges at the curb occasionally, and I was a dopey curious kid.
