You shouldn't have to have a paypal account in order to make a paypal
payment.  That's one of the things Paypal actually boasts about.

But, having multiple options are a good thing, because if Google
Checkout were the only option, I would be unable to make a payment
(since Google screwed up my Google account and I can't do any Google
transactions for over a year now.)

Paypal is also an issue for certain countries.  Brazil is one of them,
but that's probably more a international banking issue than payment
method.
