In the documentation, the variable beamerarticle is under the beamer section of variables. However, in the templates, it is only loaded if the output type is latex (article), not beamer. So really this variable should be under the latex variables. If the option beamerarticle is given when the output format is given as beamer, it does nothing. If the variable is given with the output format as latex, then you get what you want.
For Quarto, when using beamerarticle in beamer option, it is not that "does nothing", but doesn't compile at all, as beamerarticle redefines {frametitle}. Documentation here is really misleading.
beamerarticle variable now in beamer section which is really confusing.
