In my experience merchants in Australia often add the fee directly at checkout. You can't really pass on the costs any more direct than that. They often do provide PayPal for checkout, which is why I expect people use it. Stripe is simply not present, so how could we use it?

I'm mostly speaking from the US perspective, where credit card surcharges are extremely rare for online transactions (and only slightly less rare for offline ones).

Stripe is meant as a suggestion for merchants, not customers.
