The answer is in the original Stripe article: The merchant pays much higher fees when you pay with your US credit card than when you pay with a EEA credit card because the interchange limits only apply to purchases within the EEA made with a "standard" EEA credit card (corporate cards are also exempt, which is why Stripe is charging higher fees for them as well).
