The thing is, if you didn't integrate Stripe, you'd either be:
1. integrating someone else who does roughly the same thing as Stripe
2. integrating with and maintaining 100's of individual payment methods and countries, and dealing with tons of entities and managing relationships with them.
You might be able to cheat if you just do visa cards and only in the US, or something. But that is dramatically less than what you're getting when you integrate Stripe.
