Very much agree with this sentiment on principle. Alas, people seem to prefer avoiding any hassle and jumping on to closed platforms that make design and other bits simple. I'd imagine those that get traction eventually move towards a platform they fully control.
So this site disappears one day or is sold..markdown is irrelevant, since you do not control your data. There is plenty of markdown enabled open source blog software.

Why would anyone choose a closed source blog platform in this day and age, this is a serious question I truly don't understand why.
Absolutely, this is an actual dealbreaker. If I can't tweak my blog, I'm not doing one.
Then again, I suppose I'm not part of the intended audience.

It’s markdown so migrating is easy.

Fair point.
