Actually it has had balance changes. Chess clock for instance is a balance update between the players, but there’s also been balancing between pieces. En passant and castling but also changing how the pieces work (for example bishop).
Despite the obvious symmetry of the game there’s still a lot to balance.

wait the bishop changed??
In the olden days Bishops could move only 2 squares and jump over other pieces like knights.
Interesting, that’s how it still works in Chinese chess.
