El porqué (todo junto) es un sustantivo. Admite plural: los porqués.
Explícame el porqué de tu decisión (= el motivo). No sabía los porqués de su filosofía. Hay por que, porque, por qué y porqué.

"por qué" is used for "él/ella" (tacit subject)
[Él] no tiene por qué hacerlo. And yes, isolated it can mean both.  irmamar
