IMO:

Answer 1: 3 things.
1. S Pen users weren't happy with it since it kills the handwriting experience when needing to write 'on the edge'
2. The increased accidental touches.
3. More people prefer flat displays over the edge due to practicality vs aesthetics.

Answer 2: The stem design is known for better microphone quality since the mic is located on the stem therefore nearer to your mouth. I have the B3P and it's my first time using stem earpods and I prefer them over the B2P(in terms of improved fit, amongst other things). Others may feel different.

Answer 3: Also with Q2 the common theme here is Apple. So it's to sway Apple users to Samsung. It's another reason why both Samsung and Apple are exchanging features; to get people to switch but letting people down gently by making hardware and software similar so the change is not too hard on the user.

Question 1:
In terms of the audio with B3P, when listening to music, is the sensor built in on the stem or into the wind shield when changing to the next sound track.
Question 2:
Is there any difference between the B3 and the B3P in speculation.

For Q1 I hope I understood your question. The sensor is built on the side of the stem if you want to change the track. Unless you're referring to a different sensor, let me know.

For Q2 The difference is minimal since it's the same sound quality standard but you lose the 2 way speaker, Ambient Sound, Adaptive ANC and the Blade Lights on the B3. As an everyday person I don't think what I've mentioned really matters unless you're an audiophile 😅 (The Blade Lights although awesome to see, still very much unnecessary (Just Samsung and their gimmick vibes, but useful when needing to find them through Smartthings 🧐)).

I can also say I like that the B3P is more Samsung like vs B3 that's practically a splitting image of the Airpods

@TeeA I am referring to the sensor I want to use to change the track. Is the sensor built in on the inside or outside of the stem, and then how much sensors are built in the B3P, let me know.
