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.

The longer a car’s roofline is, the more support it will tend to require along its length. It isn’t owing to the weight of the roof panel, it has to do with crash safety. It is possible to build a roof that doesn’t require a b pillar, but that makes construction more expensive and adds weight to the roof which can have a negative effect on handling.
