Why do single and double quotes in PowerPoint always show up as funny
characters in Usenet?

Because Usenet (and email) is *meant* to be plain text. "Curly quotes"
(and "curly apostrophes") are not part of plain text, so some usenet
newsreader applications do not work with them, which is the correct
approach. Same goes for other non-plain text typographical characters,
such as long dashes and ellipsis.

Some badly made Usenet newsreader applications do work with "curly
quotes", etc., but they're a pain in the backside in proper Usenet
reader applications since the characters come through as strange
characters.

I don't know if I'd call them badly made.

Usenet and email are meant to be plain text. Any app that ignores that
standard is badly made because it isn't sticking to the established
rules.

It's teh same issue that madea complete mess of website creatiojn wehn
Microsloth decided to ignore the established ruels and do things their
own way in Internt Exploiter (another badly made app). :-(
