Why PayPal makes sense for Stripe now

Source summary
The public preview says a reported $53 billion Stripe-Advent bid for PayPal is a bet on controlling more of the commerce journey: merchant software, checkout, consumer identity, wallets, fraud, and eventually AI commerce. Advent would bring payments deal experience, but PayPal has reportedly resisted engagement; the remainder is subscriber-only.
