I have an outlet beside a door. Wait a minute ... make that 2 outlets
beside doors. Oh, no ... make that three ... there's the one on the
back deck by the sliding door. No code up here that says there's a
required minimum distance.

I have ADDED outlets by doors for convenience using things like vacuums
and floor scribbers.

How about switch-height outlets? They're easier to reach.
