I remember Robin and all of those things... however, times are changing and I 
feel like it is kind of necessary, especially if we expect to hold on to our 
TLDs once TLDs become a free-for-all.

Just a thought :)

The founder of OpenNIC, Robin Bandy, was always against the idea of 
organizing OpenNIC into a legal structure for the same reason you give.  But 
to add to your list:

We can accept donations
We protect the OpenNIC name
We have a collective voice
