You're rebutting someone that merely said that the industry is "far from a small market" which was in response to someone claiming it was a "tiny" market. Pointing to one of the largest companies operating a web business is not really a rebuttal. That just says they are far from being the biggest.

I wouldn't call a $5b market a "tiny, niche market" like the GP post stated.

In the overall scheme of payments, $5b is small. You need big volume to make money as a payment processor.
There are many markets that are much smaller than that which Stripe doesn't have a problem with.
