Russia conduct cyber attacks on US all the time. North Korea did a high profile attack too. China flew a balloon over the whole country, not bothering a single airport, without any response. US never does anything to anyone that can hit back.

Three points: 1. You don't actually know what actions the US has taken. 2. The only country outside of one using nuclear bombs that could theoretically "hit back" is China. 3. Flying some balloons across the US doesn't necessarily necessitate some sort of massive response. There's levels.
