Its unsurprising that stripe doesn't trust their customers who sign up for them via their standard channels?

It's not that they don't trust them, it's that those accounts are the least possible trusted accounts that they have. They have the least information, the least relationship, the fewest checks have been done.

And yet they're paying customers, and deserve respect as such.

Sure, but it's understandable that there are malicious users paying for these services as well, and it's hard to distinguish between them when there's this little info.

This is my whole point – by getting an account manager and building that relationship you quickly, and massively, change the level of trust compared to a credit card number you stuck in a landing page.
