Raise your lens.

A balloon with an EMP charge on it could cripple 1/3 of the US power grid.

As a SIG-INT ISR tool it could intercept and divert critical defense communications.

N.B.C. Warfare isn’t really my area of expertise, but anything aerosolized at that altitude would be a highly effective weapon.

Xi Jinping said “I will control the internet” and he has a 14 year head start.

There is a lot more going on here than a stray balloon.
