I bought a Fairphone 2 more than two years ago and I'm happy with it. Why would I want to switch to Fairphone 3? Has anyone seen a comparison of the two?

I forget, did Fairphone 2 ship w/ Android or a AOSP variant without Google Play Services?

It's no longer available for purchase, so I imagine these models are targeted at new customers as well as previous gen customers.

They offer both but Android is default. I switched to AOSP. Biggest (and perhaps only) downside for me is that location services not rely on GPS exclusively which drains the battery.
