I actually do use beamer for most presentations, but all universities I’ve worked at only ever provided templates for PowerPoint. My solution to this has been to just write a .sty file that makes it look similar (and leaves out the over-designed garbage that the templates tend to contain).
Edit: I’ve tried reveal, too. Didn’t hate it, but it makes some things ridiculously difficult (e.g., handouts or “overlay-style” animations).
We have some pretty good styles at our company and we also had some at my university. It’s not beamer that looks bad, it’s just the default styles that suck. Use the metropolis styles, they’re decent.

In germany many technical universities offer .sty packages in the corporate design. Really cool!
I think it’s funny that beamer always looks so bad but everyone accepts it because it’s the standard

Never heard of any of those
Beamer is for Latex to crate presentations
