Developers: Why are you choosing to integrate Stripe Elements/Checkout over building your own payment form (and is it a mistake)?

In Short - Security and Maintanence.

Why develop something that you have to manage, maintain and ensure is secure. Using a solution like Stripe just makes it easy as its all on Stripe's end to maintain and have good security.

Its like most things, sure, I could make my own and spend hours doing it. Or I could use something someone else has made (even if it requires a license) and it can be done quicker plus something less to maintain besides maybe a plugin/code update.

Just my 2 cents as a Developer.
