That's what i figured, which is why I included braintree to not throw Stripe under the bus alone.
When someone speaks of property rights, they usually mean their own rights, not others'.

This is completely your own assertion and suggests a lack of understanding of property rights. How can I talk about property rights under the assumption that they apply only to me, unless I believe that I am the only one in the universe with property rights?
Property rights also apply to Stripe, in that the company, as an asset itself, can be restricted by its owners to conduct business in some certain way.
And I wouldn't be surprised if Stripe's policies will have more to do with the credit card companies than Stripe. Then, further, the credit card companies act as a cartel by using the government to prevent anyone else from using property to create a competing service by making the ROI on creating a competing service worse than other investment opportunities, or even just blocking it outright under some nebulous "shut down for accounting irregularities" or "insufficient consumer protections" nonsense.
