I agree that Gparted would be good to have but I just use System Rescue CD in these situations.
The Live ISO's come with fdisk, but not gdisk. If a tool is going to be supplied on x86_64, it should be gdisk given GPT has supplanted MBR over the last 10 years plus. Plus, Anaconda switched to GPT in 2022; see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GPTforBIOSbyDefault and https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/4231.
It's been some time since I had a need for it, but AFAIK, fdisk from util-linux has supported GPT partitions for quite a while now. That should largely negate the need to add gdisk to live images, I think.
Whether gparted makes sense is another matter, of course. I have found it handy as well, but I also found it simple enough to install in the live image when I needed it. For whatever little that datapoint is worth. :)
