@AlphaDragon, I’m not well-read on this topic, but if I had to guess, there are two main reasons.

  1. AP Physics B was heavily criticized as too focused on computation and not enough on conceptual understanding.
  2. AP Physics B tried to fit three semesters of college physics into an eight-month high school class.
