I don't know what you're trying to show there. "over-size virtual
partitions" is LVM thin-provisioning. btrfs in your case has used the
405G partition and that's all the space that's available. It can be
used by any of the btrfs volumes, but any space that's used by one
volume is no longer available for the other ones. Every btrfs volume
shows the same size.
If you meant something else by your initial comment, you'll need to
explain it.
We are comparing the Fedora 35 default to manual partitioning.
In btrfs terminology, /root is a top-level subvolume and /home is a .
subvolume sharing storage with the top-level / filesystem. I just
wanted point out that a default install doesn't need predetermined
space requirements. Having said that, LVM helps adjust
sizes based on in-use demands (but needs more steps to set up)..
