This is a really polarizing theory for a lot of folks, but it's completely precedented. SARS-CoV-1 leaked out of [edit](three separate labs (one in China, one in Singapore and one in Taiwan)) in the early 2000s - and these leaks were acknowledged by their respective governments, including the PRC. [1] And a whole bunch of other diseases from a whole bunch of other labs over like a hundred years. [2]
It could have happened. I'm not sure it did, but it certainly could have. This isn't some fringe crackpot theory - and it shouldn't ever have been treated as such.
