 * My locally hosted site, and every template (installed and not installed) seems
   to just be plain text. I haven’t started to make any changes yet as I have only
   freshly installed WordPress.
 * Here is an example of what the installed Hello Elementor looks like in a Live
   Preview (not activated). The same is consistent with all other live previews,
   and a lot of standard Previews aswell.

 * I have no idea what the issue could be.

      Reason: moved to Localhost Installs since this is a localhost install

 * I’m not entirely sure what you mean by “missing CSS”.
 * The screenshot you provided clearly shows some styling is applied on the page,
   which can only come from CSS. I don’t see any problem here.
 * **What do you expect to see that you’re not seeing?**
 * Note that activating a theme will not import a complete, pre-made website on 
   your site. It’ll merely style the existing content… and all you have on your 
   site is the default “Hello World” post.
 * Some themes have pre-made “Starter Sites” that you can install. But you need 
   to first activate these themes and then install the theme’s own companion plugin
   to import the starter site. Also, note that most themes do not have these starter
   sites at all.
 * In the end, a theme’s primary job is to style your existing content, and I see
   that happening in the screenshot you provided.
