They're viruses from the same family of viruses. "Strongly resembles" is not strong evidence.

Which you note by pointing out that this is the exact thing we'd expect from a natural event.

This is older but it shows the BLAST of the two viruses. They're more than the same family. RaTG13 is the closest sequence ever discovered (in open literature) to SARS-CoV-2.
