Hi ddevault -- we would like to do this, and I'm very supportive in principle (and, per GP, we are perfectly fine with anyone not using Stripe.js), but our current product/engineering focus is on trying to build better tools for the businesses who are losing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to fraud. We think we have to first help the businesses who need help immediately. We'll probably then circle back to build products that explore more points on the [efficacy of fraud prevention] - [PCI burden] continuum.

Thanks for the info, pc! I'm worried that this is a dismissive answer, though. Stripe has been in business for 10 years, and fraud has been and will continue to be a constant battle for you. When can I expect to start seeing other problems like this prioritized?

Definitely no dismissiveness intended -- apologies. While Stripe has been in business for 10 years, Radar (our fraud prevention tool) has only existed for 3.5. We've made a good deal of progress in that time and I would guess that it's 1-2 years away from being sufficiently complete that we can start to seriously focus on things other than fraud. (As it happens, I just had a conversation about this with the guy who leads it.)
