1) true but not all hosts take much ad space, if at all.
2) yes some people wont trade with free hosts but many do.
3) like i said.
4) unlikely. what if google bans your own domain as well?
5) i have found the opposite. sometimes google favors some free hosts from time to time and it is easier to rank them than your own self-hosted domain.
while it is stupid to base your whole business of them they have some uses.

Fourth - what if google decides to band thumblogger domain
Fifth - MIGHT be that search engines would like/prefer own hosted site vs TB site (this is just my speculation, do not take as granted)
Sixth - ??
Seventh - ?

You are simply leaving money on the table. And knowing aproximate mike's earnings I would say he left thousands of dollars on the table there..
