That's not the reason. Cost of chargebacks falls entirely on the merchant. Visa/MC have no reason to care.

What happens if the merchant folds or disappears? Stripe (or Visa or whoever) then are the bagholder. And if someone has a ton of chargebacks, it's not uncommon they're then difficult to collect from.
