Ask HN: Why can't OpenAI, Cursor, Fyxer etc. send their invoices per email?

Every month I need to log in in to our SaaS to download invoices.

-> https://community.openai.com/t/please-automate-the-invoice-to-be-send-by-email-is-it-so-hard/1139369

If OpenAI, Cursor, Fyxer (and countless others) can't send invoices to their end users via email, it's because it's not that straightforward. And they all use Stripe Billing.
