In the US anyway, my understanding is that non-profits have ongoing requirements (requires a board, annual meetings, some financial reporting) and are not controlled by a single person -- the board could out-vote you on an issue. So it has non-trivial overhead and some risk as just a vehicle for ownership rights.
I could be wrong on some of the details, but I believe the gist of what I'm saying is true. I have been an observer in formation of one non-profit as well as working for another. Definitely investigate it for yourself.
Ааh, yea, probably. Good to know, I'm looking at UK ones currently.

That's okay. In governance of bigger open source projects it's almost the same thing. There's no problem for smaller ones to be similar too.
My case is that I'm concentrating everything in a single monorepo of independent libraries & devtools and pieces - some connected to each others, others completely not related to other packages.
Anyway, thanks. :)
