While I agree in general, for the moment the fact is that Stripe doesn't care about our business, while others do. I am emphasizing this because Stripe seems to get a lot of goodwill here on HN, in spite of them basically ignoring large parts of the world. If you point that out, people will jump to excuses and explanations (laws are complicated, etc) — which is fine, but facts are facts: as it is now, Stripe doesn't want my business.

You are right about that and even if stripe opens for business here tomorrow it doesn't mean we will switch away from Braintree. Another common issue raised on HN is that Braintree is owned by PayPal which at least to me means absolutely nothing since I never had an issue with either companies.
