Established merchant accounts are expensive.

Why pay those merchant account fees, and on top of that, pay another set of fees to be able to do recurring billing?

To be absolutely sure it will work.

Recurring billing is a whole separate issue. I've rolled my own before and realized how much of a pain it can become. Using recurly allows all non devs on my team to handle all the subscription and recurring problems without me having to build anything.

Stripe and Samurai don't work?

Recurring is built-in to both of those platforms, and the fee structure is far less.

I don't know why you're willing to put up with the credit card processing status-quo.
