Nice idea, but I'd love a more open approach to this (or more support for OpenTofu / Terraform). This is just another vendor-locked-in way and might only work with selected platforms.

Stripe has the incentive to add platforms that use Stripe as a payment processor so they can cash on the payment fees, they don't really have any incentive to add a platform that doesn't bring money to them (except affiliates are possible with this)

Exactly. The marketing makes this look like something general for deploying cloud stacks.

But what it seems to be is just a fast way to deploy resources to platform providers that use Stripe to bill you?

Or maybe the marketing is just confusing?

I don’t think this is for me though. I’m using things like AWS, Azure, and dedicated servers from companies that lease out dedicated servers. For my company Stripe is nothing more than a payment processor.
