That is wrong. The Style and Formatting window contains not only the 
presentation styles, but the drawing object styles too. And for them the 
styles work as in Draw.

You can use the style of the presentation objects too. It is sometimes 
easier to do changes there than to switch to the associated master page. 
Remember, that you have to remove hard formattings from the 
presentations objects before you can see the effect of the styles.

"Inability" is wrong, but the connection between master page and 
presentation object style is not obvious and the handling can be 
improved. To come up with a concept would be a task for UX.

Kind regards
