Why do cars even need a B-pillar?

Question

I have seen videos of cars that do not have a B-pillar. I think it looks much better because it reduces the separation between each row. It’s hard for me to understand that a roof is heavy enough that it needs a support in the middle.

Structural rigidity is a key factor. It provides for a structurally more sound body frame than a car without one.
