I don't think you have to attribute it to some interest at stake: if it is zoonotic, people see it as the cost of living. Of course, that has to be changed, but it's a boring conclusion, and unlikely to cause a change quickly, because we are slow as molasses. A lab leak is more exciting, should not happen, gives more to discuss, and can be outlawed easier. I think that explains that there's more interest.

I'm still on the fence, BTW.
