what's a good explanation on why a mature company like Stripe didn't IPO during the '20-21 rush?

An IPO is a loss of control for founders (now you need quaterly narratives & slave to markets). If you can avoid it somehow, you do. Stripe could avoid it because of great secondaries and good money in the bank. I don't think they regret it? Employees might, but as a founder private >>>> if you can.

are they doing buybacks or dividends? what is driving secondary market sales if there is no expectation of IPO?
