The strategy here is that the same services that Stripe offers for payments have corollaries in the LLM world. Security, user management, perhaps injection attack monitoring, etc. However I think they dearly overpaid for this as the core technology behind Stripe (fraud detection and integration with global banks) is hard to replicate. Even with the features mentioned above I think the technologies behind OpenRouter are vastly easier to replicate, perhaps even trivial now.
