yeah, Stripe has a totally reasonable defense for this:

1. Obviously this is a product we'd want to build because our customers want it

2. We contacted Plaid to see if they wanted to be part of it

3. Plaids pricing didn't work for us so we built it ourselves / went with other providers

Not sure what you'd even get from talking to the team at Plaid that couldn't be learned in an afternoon or two using product that use Plaid and hacking on banking API's.
