I’m an engineer on the Identity team. There are two somewhat separate questions here. (1) Whether the business should ever have access to this data. And (2) how exactly the business should access that data and the security properties around it.
On (1) this data is fundamentally the user’s, and there are often important compliance reasons as to why the user needs access to the raw data because of obligations that they themselves are subject to. It’s important to remember that you should trust both Stripe and the business that’s asking you to verify your identity. They are in control of explaining to you how they are using this data and giving you an option to opt out—or lose you as a customer.
On (2) we’re working on a way to restrict access via secret keys very soon.
