Ah you’re the one from the issue! 
I’m not sure what is happening on your system, but the balanced profile has existed for a long time (always?). I’m on KDE so maybe gnome didn’t show it to the user, but the support was definitely there in PPD.
My apologies for this issue. This was caused due to the change to Tuned by default, and was caused due to an oversight by me and the change owners.
It should be fixed soon. Feel free to ping me in the future!

No apologies needed. I’m still not sure why my experience was different on F40, but the balanced profile does what I expect. I appreciate the responses from everyone.

I’m a bit out of the loop and just skimmed through the last few posts. I’m on Fedora Kinoite 40 and the update for 41 is out. Will this mean worse battery life because it switches from PPD to Tuned? And how do I go back to PPD using rpm-ostree?
You will have to wait a day for power-profiles-daemon-0.23-2 to reach stable. After that you can remove tuned and install ppd like this:
rpm-ostree override remove tuned --install power-profiles-daemon
I think that should work, I’ve never used kinoite. Anyway if you have an issue, just let us know

@principis ; It would be helpful if we can have a way for them to co-exist without removing tuned pkg as it’s a dependency for a few other things like performance tuning/cockpit and others. Perhaps something in tuned’s configuration for managing power profiles can be disabled?
That is possible, but you’ll have to remove tuned-ppd. This will keep tuned installed.
On Fedora:
sudo dnf swap tuned-ppd power-profiles-daemon
Or kinoite:
rpm-ostree override remove tuned-ppd --install power-profiles-daemon
