Agreed. But I think you can do both. That is have your own self-hosted and then __occasionally__ do a Medium post for audience, etc.
If it helps, envision Medium as a social network. You share to FB, TW, etc. Medium would be a slightly longer post.

I would appreciate publishers who follow your solution of doing both!
