I wonder how this compares to Column, since the founder of Column also cofounded Plaid. I see both founders' comments in this thread it looks like but the Column founder doesn't seem too happy about it [0].
There also seems to be some vindication by the Bolt founder, based on his Twitter thread about how Stripe handles corporate development [1][2], it really reminds me of Paul Graham's essay not to talk to them, lest the same thing happen to you [3].
