I was rather thinking the same thing. It is possible for something to be a powerful defense, powerful enough to keep a land protected from the enemy, without being a weapon. I'm thinking of the Girdle of Melian, and given the connection between Galadriel and Melian, I suspect that Galadriel was using the power of Nenya to protect Lothlorien much in the same way Melian's Girdle protected Doriath: defensively, not offensively.
