Whether or not the Export function had issues with what it exported or that there was too much content, it was a very useful tool given the amount of work required to do this manually. It took far less time to clean up than to do this yourself. Microsoft if you're going to remove a feature, you should give people advanced notice and a useful workaround. Using CTRL-A and CTRL-V into a PPT template is not either helpful or useful!

The option to export a Word document to PowerPoint was removed recently. I don't know why.
You can post feedback to Microsoft and let them know that you want the option back. Use the Help > Feedback command in Word for the web.
I suspect because it was more trouble than it was worth.
Charles, that sounds like a reasonable explanation. :-)
PDF still works. The One to export to a PPT presentation disappeared. I wonder if only this is gone or are others? Anyway, thank you all for answers.

Angie, I suspect that Charles is correct: the option wasn't sufficiently reliable. Do remember to post feedback to Microsoft.
The thing is, a Word document, as a full document, was never exported to PowerPoint in a way that was useful for a presentation. Too much text per slide. A Word outline exported worked well so long as there was not too much text. You can still create a Word outline and copy and paste into PP and use the design features to create slides there. It is not as slick as creating one slide for each heading.
If they rename it and give good instructions, it could be a useful feature. However as it was, I think it likely created a lot of problems for users who were expecting something better. (Neither Stefan nor I are privy to the "why" of MS decisions.)

I would like to differ with the some of the above comments who say it was not well exported. may be people should know how to format their word documents to perfectly export to slides. i create slides content using AI tools and they generate in perfect format to be exported to power point. I have to only choose a proper template while exporting. Sometimes due to the size of the content , it might distort the slides but i could fix it within my AI tool itself, and then export. It was rather a very powerful and time saving tool, for presentations.
The feature existed before, I worked with it. I started some exams now and this feature disappeared. Also the ribbon looks different.
Yes. It existed before. You are not imagining it.
Yes. The Ribbon has changed. They do that, especially in Word 365.
Please read Stefan's response and my comment earlier in this thread.
It has been noted before that the option to export to PowerPoint is missing. Neither Charles nor I have any insights into why. Only Microsoft will be able to tell (and they do not often explain their design choices).
Be sure to send feedback, if you haven't already done so.
