It hurts a little that stripe is an American company since it was founded by two Irish brothers. It could have been an EU company to begin with
Stripe is dual headquartered in the US and in Ireland afaik. They tried to avoid having just a satellite in Irl, which other companies do but which makes it harder to take decisions independently.

People don't make a company. Stripe exists as is because it's not a EU company.
