The problem I have with using a straight up CMS is the fact they are harder to increase search rankings for, they look terrible(Which makes the user feel like what they're reading is sketchy.) and not optimized for mobile, which will mean some users will never even see the writing.

You're right, and Medium's system would help a lot more towards that goal providing a lot of tools to help share writing with others. Which aren't provided by really any templates, and those tools are actively maintained by a capitalist corporation that wants to be to be the top of search results. Wordpress or Google don't care to make the individual experience of their user's blogs good, they have other more lucrative income sources.
