Additional Information

When the Inside option is selected, the Feature To Point tool returns the label point of the input feature geometry, which guarantees the point is contained in the polygon in this case, but not necessary the gravity center (centroid). Therefore the result is correct. In this specific case, if uncheck the inside option box, the result will be more closer to the user's expectation.
