Often wondered if/why the central canister units for such systems
could be installed so they are emptied from outside the house. To
avoids recirculating the dust inside house. Or perhaps the canister
could be mounted in the garden shed outside?

They usually are. Or in a garage.

Ours was the worst of all worlds. Down in the basement right next to
the furnace. So, the dust was given the most direct access possible to
the airhandling equipment and we have to lug that up through most of the
rest of the house.
