A house doesn't have to have an outside outlet. My sister's house didn't until she hired an electrician to install one for her own use. (Of course, that house was built in 1957.)
Yeah, there have been at least one or two changes to the NEC since 1957. New houses are required to have at least two: one in front and one in the back. (As always, subject to local adoption and/or modification of the NEC....) New houses must meet the current codes; existing ones are grandfathered in, as usual, and generally need only meet the codes in place at the time of their construction until renovations or updates bring newer requirements into play for the new work.
