I remember hosted Wordpress also had a community but without the [current, new] problems of Medium. I realize Wordpress isnt as slick as Medium, but genuinely curious -- why don't people use hosted Wordpress as an alternative given their community?

I think you answered your own question: because it isn't pretty. People like shiny stuff.
I would browse with Lynx if it got me to meaningful content reliably.

"Web design" seems to me to be a game of "will this flashy new widget/layout/whatchamacallit draw more attention?"

Blech.
