its because a home, has little to no air flow, plus people often overwatering causing it to root rot, plus pest control due to humidity. the plants adapted to be on the outside tend to be more hardy than the ones on the inside.
also because plants, angionsperms, gymnosperms stop getting eaten, and took advantage of a empty niche left behind by the dinsoaurs, herbivorous mammals havnt evolve yet(you probably have a very primitive animals related to modern animals. plus angiosperm associated with insect pollination gave them an even bigger advantage.
Surely all plants adapted to be on the outside, unless the dinosaurs had greenhouses.
We've done some craaazy shit to plants, yo.
Mostly we take advantage of the crazy shit plants do anyways. We speed the process up with technology and attempt to control it.
They toss their pollen out into the environment and say "fuck everything". So we have things like wheat, a combination of 3 grass species. Hay fever is reaction to a plant attempting to make babies with you.
The also do stuff like spontaneous ploidy changes and other mutations all the time.
In my opinion fully parasitic plants that don't even have chlorophyll is way crazier than anything humans have done
