Ha. Wanted to counter your argument with: Keynote is older. It is, but just by 3 years, (2003 vs 2006).
Depending on the features you use your argument might fall flat though, how do I collaborate on a presentation? How can I easily share a presentation with a set of folks?
I like Keynote a lot, but Slides has it’s use cases as well.
Keynote actually has pretty great real-time collaboration [1], though it does have more friction than GSlides, not least of which because it requires a Mac.
I agree GSlides has its uses. Web apps are good for ephemeral tasks, but I use desktop apps for stuff I care about.

Fun fact: 2003 was Keynote's public unveiling. Before that, it was a bespoke NeXTSTEP app created for Steve Jobs. (I'm not sure how old proto-Keynote is, but IIRC he'd used it publicly since the late 90s.)

Desktop apps can reach higher quality. Compare e.g. Apple Keynote to Google Slides, the difference is obvious.
