Default Broken light switch

I recently moved into an older house. There is a light switch by the
front door that doesn't seem to do anything. All the light fixtures
inside and outside have good bulbs in them and switch on and off.

Why would there be a switch by the door with no light?

TIA

Anna

Control an outlet in the room (maybe just the upper socket) to plug in a
light?

Plug a lit lamp in all the wall plugs to see if controls a lamp. Check
poth plug holes,it may be a 'switched outlet.
