There was no one developer and it has been practiced for at least as long as we have historical records of, which is about 5,000 years ago.

In the Vedantic tradition it was taught to several sages by Shiva.

That said, the basic premise of meditation is that when one sits down and tries to add up the sum of his being, the sum doesn't equal the parts. When one realizes that not my body, nor mind, nor environment, etc. are the same as before in my life, but yet "I" apparently still feel like "I." Then they began to reflect on the question, "who then, is this "I?"

Thus people probably naturally began to introspect on this theme.

Why non-Buddhists might choose practice of meditation?

Meditation was around before buddhism was even founded. Anyone is welcome to practice meditation, whether you have a religion or not. It all depends on the choice of the person, meditation can be used as prayer, a time to think, empty the mind, etc... so if someone finds meditation useful for them they are welcome to use it. For the same reasons that buddhist's use it for or not. Hope that helped.
