Who says balance is permanent? There was balance presumably for centuries before the prequel series, then it was disrupted by the Rise of Sheev. Balance was once again restored when the Empire was destroyed, but came under threat again by the New Order.
You're right that is true but in which case it sure is a pretty lame prophecy. Imagine being Yoda and being like 900 years old. You watch as shit's all cool in the galaxy for centuries upon centuries. There slowly starts to be a disturbance in the force. But then the prophecy shows up saying some kid is the super special chosen one who will do amazing things to right the wrongs in the force. Then it turns out the amazing thing is that things were just slightly ok for a handful of years. Before they got super super bad again. And someone else REALLY brought balance to the force.

Rey is obviously more the super special chosen one than Anakin by that perspective. And the only thing Anakin has over her is the virgin mary birth thing. Which seems unnecessary in retrospect since obviously non-jesus-birth people can be extraordinarily strong in the force. I don't think anyone ever liked that plot point anyway. Or the chosen one plot point for that matter.
