I can personally attest to entire universities advocating for student use of powerpoint for all sorts of printshop work to include thesis and capstone presentation posters for conferences :)
For people who don't want to spend time learning yet another single-purpose application, it works quite well
"I have to make a brochure for the printing shop and I'd like to compose it in Excel"
"There are actually five rules..."
"In Powerpoint?"
"Make that six."
Except PowerPoint is actually quite nice to make quick, easy and good looking visualizations and brochures without having to deal with Word
Well, Word isn't really a good choice either.
It's the most approachable for most people. For real graphics design more professional tools are available
Paint?
matplotlib
