That makes sense. I too use Obsidian for just about all of my notes (and nvAlt before that -- my Obsidian notes archive dates back over thirteen years). I think the key difference is that I don't use the Git CLI on a daily basis, so dropping down into the terminal to use git to publish a blog post seems like too much work.
Keeping Hugo installed and up to date as part of the publish process seems like a headache as well. I like the blog to be totally separate from my local machine, so if I change anything or switch laptops, it doesn't interfere with the publication process.
Manually adding the Hugo front matter to each post also strikes me as annoyingly fiddly, although you could use a text expander app to handle most of it. Another issue is that I'm not sure that Markdown would do well for the full scope of formatting, such as aligning images and adding image captions.
