personally i don't see why you wouldn't have animations or effects. granted you can go overboard but there's no reason it shouldn't have some life about it. that's the difference between a presentation and simply sticking some posters on the wall.
my 2cents, i'm probably wrong.

"Why waste time changing something that's been established and has a track record of working within our environment? It would be a waste of company time and resources to edit it."
"If it ain't broke don't fix it"

Well yeah, there is SOME animation, sentences or paragraphs 'appear' or the odd thing zooms in... it's not totally bland.

also, the 'easy to read' argument is moot to me. do tv adverts have particularly difficult to read text? generally speaking no. the key is to do what you want as far as animations / movement / colours / whatever but keep the communication clear and concise.

ANY animation makes me Gag.
I actually give the clients PDF's to present with

to the above 'why fix it if it aint broke' - sure. but to a point. if people stuck with that old chestnut too strictly we'd never change or do anything.
the argument goes both ways, it just comes down to the ability to know when enough is enough (usually 8).
this thread could easily have been started by the other guy telling us how the inhouse older dude can't move out of the comfort zone and change etc etc. then we'd all be jumping up and down about how some people just can't seem to evolve etc.
