Well, internal locus of control is kinda bullshit, too. You can't escape being influenced by external factors due to being a member of society. Your life is very much out of your hands in a number of ways. I imagine most people pick the one most comforting to them, but it's both at the same time. That said, believing you have control is way more empowering and puts you in a better position to push back against elements of society trying to hold you down.

Well ya it’s obv both. Society, or more broadly life in general, will always remind us of things we can’t control
The concept was always meant to be on an individual basis. As external negative events happen to us as an individual, our locus of control shrinks. As we accomplish a task or goal we set for ourselves, our locus of control widens (hint: start small!)
It’s more of a individual psychological phenomenon than a worldview tbh
