I'm surprised no one has said "PowerPoint" yet. LibreOffice and Google Slides are nowhere close. Animations, theming, diagramming tools... I run an Ubuntu laptop and have been missing PowerPoint so much I tried to get a Windows VM for it. Couldn't get graphics support in VirtualBox working correctly :(

I find PowerPoint to be the most easily replaceable program in the Office suite because effective presentations do not depend on cool animations or themes to get the message accross. The best presentations I've seen have had black text on a plain white background with clear and precise language. Either that or presentations that only consist of images or diagrams and no text.
