Are all weapons by necessity a bad thing? One weapon that comes to mind is the anti-tank missile. Without these weapons, tanks would be essentially invulnerable to light infantry. That has implications for anybody fighting a war of resistance against a better armed aggressor. One example would be the Ukrainians, but in general, light infantry are typical of resistance movements, because they are cheaper to equip. The anti-tank missile dramatically reduces the ability of strong, aggressive states to dominate their neighbors, and citizens. So far, drones have played a similar role. By massively lowering the financial and technical difficulties of providing close air support, they disproportionately benefit those combatants that don't have the money or resources to have a traditional air force.
