To 1) According to one of these theories Zahard used the Princess/es for a reason and also made that rule for a reason, other than the one that is known to the public (keeping the power from spreading uncontrolably). Therefore it wouldn't make sense to act rashly, Also you have to assume that Enne would know about the rules of being a Princess and wouldn't run around announcing it to the world. She would be trying to hide it or go full offense, when she sees no way out.

2) None of the Princesses are born as such. Therefore the argument that they all have a strong body doesn't really mean that much, when it comes to power that is gained with the blood. To be chosen as a Princess you need abilities far stronger than those of other people and it's probably just one of the aspects where they excel. I don't really doubt or question that they do gain some bonus from the blood, enhancing their physical abilities, but I don't think that it's enough of an argument to use when it comes to a boy who was locked in a cave all his life, without any exercise or the presence of Shinsoo, which seems to be the basis of almost everything inside of the Tower.

Like when you look at the recent chapters, where Evan was so concerned for Yuri going through the acid. You'd think Yuri would have an amazingly strong physical body, but if she doesn't use any Shinsoo, it really doesn't amount to much and she'd probably die like anyone else.

My point here is that while it certainly seems the physical side of Baam seems to be his weakness, his progress in that aspect is certainly not underwhelming for someone who's only been in the Tower for such a short time. Some of the Regulars are hundreds of years old and specialize in physical combat and are nowhere near where Baam is. Unfortunately you can't keep the Shinsoo out of the equation, but everyone is using it, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

To make another assumption here for the very end of the TOG story. I think eventually it will be about overcoming the boundaries of Shinsoo and finding something of your own.
