The question comes from a statement of an advertising message. It gives me the impression that balance is a tangible weight.

Answer
In advertising it is especially important that the reader remembers something about the brand.
So that’s what happened here! And that by playing on the ambiguity of the word “weight”.
In plain language the sentence reads: what is the importance of balance?
Equilibrium is a concept: forces that act against each other in such a way that no movement occurs, such as two equal masses that are attracted to the earth in the same way and therefore have the same weight.
