Setting up a free blog is something I never recommend to my clients or friends who are wanting to get online to share information and hopefully crack into a niche to make some money. Platforms like Blogger, while they're technically "FREE" they can actually cost you a good amount of money in the long run and make you a very angry person.

1. I never knew free platforms like Blogger can be hacked. I had a lot of blogs in my lifetime on Blogger and none got hacked, ever. Maybe if you use some custom script or theme but that's virtually possible for any blogging platform, no matter if its paid or free.
2. Yes, they can shut down, but I doubt Google will close Blogger anytime soon, maybe re-brand everything into something similar, but not close. And even if they choose to shut down completely you'll still get a notice and you'll have time migrating everything from Blogger to Wordpress (it's pretty easy actually).
3. I think Blogger is pretty versatile, especially when it comes to placing ads. But I agree, you don't have the liberty wordpress haves when it comes to new functionalities or custom stuff. On Wordpress you have a huge range of plugins and themes. On Blogger everything is very limited and you need to use them at the fullest. I think free blogging platforms are great, especially when you want to test a website or a niche first to see if you are capable of producing views and quality traffic. 1.
