I do not see the benefit of using timesyncd over chrony. Arguably, chrony is a much better implementation and having a consistent time server choice across all variants makes life considerably easier for integration and management.

Timesyncd has a smaller foot-print and lower resource requirements, is part of the system management framework ( already installed ) and serves I would say majority of usecases out there which makes it a better distribution default since today distributions need to cater the entire spectrum ( embedded,cloud, containers, servers, desktop etc. ) and I think you are mistaken if you think that chrony is being used across all variants in Fedora ( I suspect that is an exception rather than a rule these days ).
It's in at least the Cloud base image, KDE live install, Server DVD install, Silverblue DVD install and Workstation live install.
