One reason not to put things on medium is the poor url design. Try remembering

of the url no use to anyone except machines.

For anyone confused about Medium's export feature, it's available under
Settings->Export Content from the user menu. Worries about platforms not
providing this are warranted, but I think Medium already has this covered,
even if some of the export HTML is messier than some would like.

Until Medium, I hosted my own blogs on my own web servers (for ~17 years). I
eventually got tired of dealing with updates, comment spam management (even
with Akismet and friends), breakin attempts, and all the rest, so I moved
there. I'd still like to see friendly URL and custom domain support, as well
as some fixes to the editor (bulleted lists + blockquote indentation bugs are
very frustrating), but overall, I've been fairly satisfied with it.

His concerns might be a tad overblown in this instance, even if I agree with
many of his concerns about the open web (and I personally still think RSS
should be everywhere by default. It's still incredibly useful, even if only
used for API consumption.)
