It seems to me like it would be better in the long run to invest money in developing better water treatment plants rather than getting on the ban-wagon. It seems logical that we could skim these out as they are as the article attests "boyant".
Why does it "seem" that way to you? Do you have experience with filtering systems, and the costs associated with them? Or, is it because you have experience with bans?
Are there non-plastic alternatives on the books? I'm all for protecting nature, but these microbeads are useful as an abrasive element (meaning more thorough cleaning). Maybe sterilized sand?

They're questioning if you have any relevant experience with the topic which informs your opinion, or you think that the solution to a complex environmental problem is the first thing that "felt right" or "made sense" to you.
1.1 million 1mm diameter beads in 1 sq km doesn't seem like much, like 1 bead per million sq mm. But there shouldn't really be any of these. Kind of a ridiculous idea to begin with.

How would you pay for the upgrade of all water treatment plants? A special tax on microbeads?
