My understanding of lightning is that it is to solve an imbalance of electrons between earth & ground. If this is the case, why do some strikes hit airborne objects and such that can’t be “grounded”?

Lightning is just an effect that happens when hot and cold air particles pass through eachother, lighting itself just strikes the closest object
