I would like to share with You a study by G. Zakhodyakin which won the 1st prize in 1931 in the magazine "64". I found it in the great book "Domination in 2,545 Endgame Studies" by  Ghenrikh M. Kasparyan.

One more question: Why is nobody interested in this endgame?

Maybe the difficulty by seemingly simplicity of the position.

I think its a great example of how a bishop can dominate a knight!

This was your first question. The puzzle was cool, but nothing to discuss here. Thanks for sharing it.
