WordPress.com with one of the paid plans is good for the same reason. It's backed by a real company that's been around a long time in tech terms. Their membership thing works similarly to Patreon in that a person manages their subscriptions in a central location instead of going through different proprietary payment flows, but the money goes to your Stripe account.
It would be nice if they also made the subscription in Stripe so it's portable, but Automattic has been around long enough to trust with handling it. On the customer/supporter side, I think knowing they aren't at the whim of the blog owner for cancellation is a perk.
