For this use case, Patreon & OpenCollective (yes, OpenCollective) is far more established and offers many more features than OF. What's the point in using OF then?

Network effects. Start with taboo yet high demand market then pivot.

I'm not a market strategist, but I think you don't start to capitalize on the network effect by cutting away 95% of your network.

How and where and what USP (Unique Selling Point) is there to OF that Patreon/OpenCollective are missing?

"Network effects" doesn't mean jack, this isn't surfacing a plumber to a user on facebook because friends of friends have reviewed them in their local area..
