Why is "Balance Distribution" showing shares instead of balances?

UX wise we prob need Don answer here, other than that it was discussed in Figma

Based on Andy's input shares are more accurate and actually accumulate to 100%. The initial idea from me was to show shares in a tooltip rather than showing both though.

Balances will still accumulate to 100%. And ratios should still be equally accurate (active_balance = active_shares*inaccurate_value; self_delegation_balance = self_delegation_shares*inaccurate_value).

@Andrew7234 how can balance inaccuracies occur? Is it just: if indexing is 10 days behind, both balances will be approximately 2.5% / 365 * 10 = 0.068% too low?
