But that actually changed extremely recently. PayPal is now fully supported with Stripe, even payment settlement happens in Stripe, Connect is supported etc.

Its availability is limited - based on the merchant's Stripe account. It's not available in the US yet, but I can't imagine it'll be far behind. For EEA + UK + Swiss Stripe accounts, you can accept PayPal for US customers
It seems that it was launched very quietly, not crystal clear why. Maybe PayPal are trying to avoid cannibalisation of their own payment processing services
