I feel the opposite actually. I say "no worries/problem" when I'm trying to communicate that the task was not a burden and that the person isn't bothering me if they ask again. I say "you're welcome" to acknowledge that I went out of my way to put effort in for them and that I appreciate their appreciation.
It's definitely more personal, like if I said thanks for a gift and they said no worries, it would feel a little transactional (for me).
If someone thanks me for my open source code, I'm going to say "you're welcome" because I've put many hours in primarily to improve their experience. If one of the more senior devs in my community asks me clarify something in my documentation and says thanks I'm going to say no worries because I would've done that anyway if I was aware of the issue. Honestly in that case I'm going to thank the dev for pointing me to the issue.
