It's not wrong. The impeachment charges were quite obviously frivolous nonsense.
Governments withhold aid to pressure each other all the time. Disagreeing with the extent of Congress' authority and letting the courts decide is hardly obstruction.

Everyone could see that the impeachment charges were a farce.

There was never a need to impeach an innocent president and tie up the government with a frivolous trial for the entire first month of the pandemic.
It was just an attempt to weaken the President in order to help Joe Biden's election chances.

If this had been tried in open court, the judge would have dismissed the charges with prejudice before a jury was even impaneled.
