I was wondering the same thing : why do you need a 3rd party site/service to do this? If you're a software developer then setting up something to get donations via PayPal or Stripe is easy.

The network effect can make a reasonable case. Similar to how many open source projects benefit from centralized hosting options (e.g. github), projects can in theory benefit from more centralized funding platforms.
