I think you've only looked at the first slide, not the "Section Title"
slide and what I would call the "Body" slide template. The body slide
has a completely flat black background with white text. The title is a
Sans-Serif font (in pale yellow) and the bullet points are a Serif font.

As it should. I can't remember the number of times I've been in a
meeting and someone has put up a slide that is totally incomprehensible
from a distance of 3 metres, and I don't have any vision problems beyond
weak reading glasses.
