I think to some extent it depends on the kind of thing you're doing that necessitates the additional activity of a startup.
Linus did not start a startup to make Linux. He still hasn't bothered with one, though he certainly could have done so at various points. Similar stories exist with a huge number of open source projects.
Basically it seems like you only have to start one if:
-You don't get enough time any other way.
-You need additional resources to build the project.

-You like the people and energy.
-You want the money.
