Maybe so. My request at the moment, though, is not for people to change
what's on their slides; rather, if they want people to retrieve them,
the slides should be downloadable easily (i.e. without a web app,
without a registration to some specific site).

... and having downloaded them what do you view them with if they're
not plain text?

Again, I was not the one asking for plain text. So I don't really
understand why you ask me that. But, here goes:

Presentations documents, the overwhelming majority, are in a very small
number of formats.

If they're PDF: any PDF viewer <URL:https://pdfreaders.org/>.

If they're a format produced by some widespread presentation tool:
LibreOffice Impress <URL:https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/impress/>.

Why do you ask?
