On: Stripe will reportedly acquire OpenRouter for $7B+

Yes exactly and once you factor in that a lot of sites have the Stripe JS code on every single page the total number of requests is quite high... Plus they do outbound webhook requests for dozens if not hundreds of different events so a single end to end customer checkout actually can fire dozens of webhook events (depending on what is set up for the particular merchant - it does for us!)

That's rarely a hit to origin though? That's mostly cached at the browser, if not at the CDN.

It sends analytics events to Stripe constantly...

Processing analytics is very different than processing mission critical api endpoints. No response required.

Yes, congratulations on being correct but this particular thread was just talking about API volume.
