Why is f3 bad chess?

There are 20 possible first moves in chess and 1. f3 is probably one of the worst choices. Not only this move does not take control of the center, block an important f3 square for the knight, and doesn't allow the development of any pieces but also it seriously weakens the safety of the king

The king (♔, ♚) is the most important piece in the game of chess. It may move to any adjoining square; it may also perform a move known as castling. If a player's king is threatened with capture, it is said to be in check, and the player must remove the threat of capture on the next move.
