As someone who has built products that used both Amazon Payments and Stripe, I have to say this is definitely the right move, even if the impetus was that the former service is meeting its end. I built essentially a Kickstarter copycat in all but positioning and the amount of work involved there was dramatically more difficult than setting up a non-trivial implementation of Stripe marketplaces. But the developer pain is not nearly as strong as the customer pain. Amazon sucked for creators, and Stripe is pretty painless. The right move, and further cements Stripe as the rightful market leader.
