Now? I do not know. In the past there were. Especially in kids policies.
Seems like I remember something from Protective as a rider. Maybe, Prudential?

This would be a cool rider to add by a Carrier wanting to tap this market.

I could sell in to this niche . . .
 
Sure. Get a 2nd policy on Bob to pay off the 1st policy.

Is Bob uninsurable? Use a Survivorship that accepts 1 uninsurable spouse. It can waive Premium for 15-20 years after the 1st death (depending on the product). By that time, the policy premium could be offset by dividend/interest.

No. There can be a successor owner of the policy, but the policy is not paid up unless the policyowner (whether it's Bob or the successor owner) does a RPU option.

One thing that IS out there is a disability waiver of premium for the payor. This is if Bob is disabled as the owner of the policy, the premiums will continue to be made as long as he is on a qualified claim.

I haven't seen that in a long time, but I remember that being available, particularly for children's policies.

Non forfeiture options are not discussed much any longer. They are definitely valuable.
