Thank you. I appreciate you saying that the second paragraph is aggressive, but I think it would be naive to think that it isn't possible, or even probable - if there's money in play.
A lot of anti-virus protection companies did do exactly this - create the viruses that made their products sell. Its really not without precedent.

It's possible, but this weird logic of "if there's an incentive to do something bad, then someone's probably doing something bad" - with absolutely no evidence to support it whatsoever - is the logic of conspiracy theories (e.g. 9/11 = inside job, Sandy Hook shooting = hoax, COVID-19 = fake virus to control the public).
