You didn’t say for sure or not, but I suspect this window in your entry door is clear glass, and so the shade is for privacy?
Most, or at least a lot of entry doors, have frosted glass in that door to allow some light in, but still give you privacy.
Personally, based on your troubles you have between having the shade up or down, I’d leave it down, and attach adhesive window film to the door glass. You have quite a selection of styles….tint, coloured, stained glass-look, etc.
Here’s some examples…….
