It doesn't have any play, but it's difficult to move even though I have cleaned and lubricated it. I discovered this crack in the pin of the hinge. Could it be the cause?

Hello, i see this allot should not be a major issue you can always have a mechanic carefully replace it so you keep the 6.0 mm hinge type instead of drilling it out to 6.1mm
It’s absolutely nothing to worry about when the pin is splayed they often crack it’s not a cause for concern. In terms of your hinge if it’s difficult to move then that’s likely down to corrosion and it may need the pin replacing pending on age.
No, this is what any Bromton pin looks like. The pin is pressed into the hinge with a special tool, so it has cracks on one side.
