Because, even if you do have a fully functional credit card which is not a given in many countries, US-based CC payment processors like Stripe are equally horrible third-party companies that gobble up all the data they can get their hands on somehow.

Seriously. You cannot even start “free trials” on US-based websites without handing over everything a bad actor would need for perfect identity theft.
