It’s very possible to win with black. There are lots of defenses and methods for black online. Just search for them. Thousands of resources/tactics/openings on how to disrupt white’s opening.

It's similar to tennis, no? Sometimes you're serving, other times you're receiving. Naturally the server has a slight advantage, if he/she is quite good with serving aces. But it does not unbalance the overall game.

Well said. Also the advantage of starting with white/serving first becomes more useful and makes a bigger difference as the skill level increases.
