This is an interesting point! I really recommend using Heroku because it’s a nice intro to containerized deployment.
If you’re looking to create a portfolio or business site, I would definitely use a domain you own with Heroku, rather than a Heroku domain. That way if you want to leave Heroku later it’s just a matter of changing a record and taking your nice portable container elsewhere.
I'm not saying "don't use Heroku" or other stuff like GitHub. By all means, use everything available to you as long as you are aware of the cost (visible or hidden). But having a separate hosting account and a personal website I think should be a priority for any professional. Not just for developers.
