We will retire the Compare and Merge feature from Microsoft 365 PowerPoint app for Windows version 2502. The feature will be unavailable from version 2502 onward, but it will remain available in earlier versions. Existing files will not be affected.

We recommend using real-time online collaboration tools instead.

Don't know why they will do this.
Compare and Merge feature is very useful.
I don't use Real-time online collaboration tools but I want to keep this Compare and Merge feature.
