Am I the only one who thinks it is odd that keeps, even the large one only have one tiny door to go in and out of? When keeps actually have a use and people need to go in and lot could cause traffic jams, and honestly the little bitty door on a HUGE keep just looks silly and unimpressive.

easier to hold siege. last stand if enemy broke through the walls.

Also no way to escape / flack attackers, I don't not think many if any real keeps only had one tiny (1 person wide) door. And as far as game play goes why break down the door (will you even be able to do that?) when it is just as easy to knock the whole keep down and kill everyone inside? With current game play mechanics no one will "storm" a keep, the keeps defenders will be force out into the field to deal with siege equipment.

As you can see, they barely all have small, single door...

i think he has palaces in mind like these

[Khan-]

he's talking about keeps... keeps are not palaces... keeps are, by definition, the highest tower of a castle... not a big house with a lot of windows,
what you linked, are not keeps... building construction may not be middle age, beware, a lot of medieval castle were transformed later... to make palaces...

Well what would you call the "Large Keep" that is present in the game as of now? It certainly is not in the tower style shown in many of those pics.

A building as large as the large keep in game looks like It should have more then one door and the main door should be larger, can barely carry anything inside and even that is only done with massive clipping issues.

we can barely see doors....

That last one looks like it as at least 3, the one on the front we can see, and notice the paths leading from the two semi viable sides we can assume if they have a stone path leading to the keep their is a door at the end of it, the last pic the keep / castle / palace what ever you want to call it is about the same scope as the large keep in LIF, and it has 3 maybe even 4 (can't see back side at all) doors and that seems logical to me.
