Steve,
What you may be missing (although its importance may be debatable) is that if somehow one ‘pricked’ the balloon, it would continue to drift ‘horizontally’ for some distance.  It would land farther from shore, in deeper water, and be harder to retrieve.

Balloon seems to be white -- so probably not that easy to "poke a hole" with a laser -- you need to get a fair amount of power onto the balloon MW/sq m and hold it there for enough time to evaporate the plasticWe have some R&D tech that could do that at the right kind of range -- but it might not be in the right place to be used because of the curvature of the earth
Cannon fire from a fighter would seem to be the best approach

So they shot down the balloon with a missile, it totally deflated, and fell into the water where they have to search to find it, and the impact with the water may have damaged things.

Did anyone consider: Poke a hole in the balloon (using a laser perhaps) that would cause it to descend rather than fall rapidly to the ground.

 Current terms: UAP = Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon. IAP = Identified Aerial Phenomenon. 
Current status of balloons = deflated. (Formerly known as "shot down".)
