For GitHub sponsors the organisation, in this case PHP, would need to connect a bank account directly to the organization. [...] If PHP did that we wouldn’t really need non-profit orgs like PHP Foundation.
On the contrary, being able to set up a receiving bank account for such purposes is precisely the kind of facility which non-profit organisations are needed for. The point which a few people have made about not wanting to "bless" one particular non-profit org is reasonable though - linking one particular organisation's bank account there carries more implication of "ownership" than "here are places to pool resources if you want to support the project".
