    You got me moving in the right direction. This worked for me:

    $pbiServiceAccount = Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount -WarningAction:SilentlyContinue
    $userName = $pbiServiceAccount.UserName
    Write-Host "Username: $userName"

Output:  Microsoft.PowerBI.Common.Abstractions.Interfaces.IPowerBIProfile

 

Assign the output to a variable and then grab the UserName from it.
