I get your point, and even in Italy we have Banca Sella (first one that comes to mind) which is a great way to collect payments with a local processor. But it's not Stripe...
Stripe is not just an integration for Link or Card payments, and payment fees are actually not that bad. Developer experience matters most to me.
Plus, I agree there are alternatives to a basic Stripe implementation, but what about Stripe Connect?
