The ones on the interior are because of the frameless windows. They allow the car to roll down the windows slightly before opening the door.

Other manufacturers like Audi also have electronic door handles on the interior of cars with frameless windows. But they use 2-stage door handles, so if you pull on them all the way there is also a mechanical release, not just a button. Much safer than hiding the mechanical release behind the speaker panel
