I'm sure they could run a hosted blog, it's probably a deliberate decision by their tech team to seem cool and hip by posting on Medium, because that's the in thing right now for developer blogs.

Maybe it was a decision to not have to run and maintain unnecessary shit when they have enough to deal with with their primary products when third parties have already invented that wheel.
