For me, "the point of medium" is entirely different. I don't blog regularly... I hardly ever write anything. When I do, medium offers me a large audience. I don't feel pressured to write periodic posts in order to maintain my audience. I just write something when I feel like it. No self-hosting solution can give you that.

That's a good point, I think it ties back in as well. Medium does a solid percentage of the work of building an audience for you. They need a way to be compensated for the costs of that as well, hence get more paid users.
