I think most people claiming a lab leak believe that the virus was ultimately of natural origin, and was 'engineered' only in the sense of being tested in a lab and leaking from said experiments. Some also hold that it could be a recombinant strain produced in the lab, still with ultimately natural origins...

They did have precedence with the earlier sars virus. And that lab did research on sars virus. And the first outbreak happened in that city. And the group of patient zeroes, a lot of them didn't had any connection to that wet market. There were satellite image analysis of hospitals there have unusual surge activities as early as Aug 2019. And then officially, virus can't be named with that city name, researchers who identified HIV parts on covid suppressed, and only the wet market was the official ground zero for the spread late in year end. That is a lot of coincidence. A court can convict just purely based on circumstantial evidences. So not surprising people came to that conclusion. The main gripe is virus originate from the lab. Whether it is of natural occurance that isn't the main focus.
