Why would Stripe write legislation to create a new tax? How does that help their bottom line or their customers' bottom line?

Presumably because the Collison brothers recognize that climate change poses an existential threat to the well being of their firm, their customers and their employees, and that because of their awesome entrepreneurial abilities their investors have granted them BDFL powers over Stripe.
It helps about as much as this initiative does.
