Is there any reason for using Paddle instead of Stripe or something else?

The only reason I use Paddle is because it handles VAT tax for me as the merchant of record. Stripe doesn't.

Good question. I can't seem to find out anything about them on their website. It's just buzzword after buzzword. WTF is "revenue delivery"?

I figure a pricing page would tell me what they do, but they don't even have one of those.

For those who wonder Paddle pricing like I was, it is in their privacy page :)

Paddle Checkout: 5% of SRP plus $0.50 https://paddle.com/legal/

They have a comparison here: https://paddle.com/compare/stripe/

Frustrating that I can't find a price.

I agree, I tend to avoid products without pricing page out of principle, but in this case I think the tax liability will force me to go with paddle for a product I'm working on.
