>Apple seems to be able to (see Grindr).

Can you please elaborate on this?

You pay for a Grindr subscription through Apple using IAP. Grindr presumably wouldn’t be allowed to use Stripe given their terms of use.

If one wanted to create something like Grindr but as a website instead of an app, the options for payment are extremely limited.

You can't use Stripe for a dating app?

[karlshea]

"sexually oriented dating services" are prohibited from using Stripe: https://stripe.com/restricted-businesses

You can. Many dating apps use Stripe.
