Personally, I cross-post to Medium if I write something that might be of general professional interest. The private notes feature is useful if an editor is doing a copyedit pass and I also think Medium works better if a piece is going to be linked as part of a newsletter or whatever.
Finally, if someone only writes posts once in a while, it may make more sense for them to use Medium than maintain their own blog.
Of course, if you're posting on blogpost or such, it is not your blog —it's Alphabet's. If it were your personal blog, you wouldn't have put this "signal inappropriate content" button, would you?
If an author is willing to move their content if their provider shuts down, that is not much different than migrating their content if medium shuts down.
My own domain name is in .fr, and if it expires I have a chance to renew it before someone else is allowed to take it. There's a few weeks of delay, but truly losing a .fr name requires the owner to be really negligent. I believe .com names are more easily lost, though.
