Standing away from the door holding a gun at whatever comes through (if they do come through the door) isn't that risky on your part. As soon as the door starts to come open it's over for the perp.

True, but if this was happening to me and I had family members elsewhere in the house, I'd be afraid of other perps trying to come in through other doors / windows, etc., that I couldn't cover while occupied at the front door.
