Seems like an excessively speculative theory when the alternative, "SARS1 infections were overwhelmingly driven by droplet spread and SARS-COV 2 is a close relative so we expect it to behave similarly" is right there..

That's not correct, at least in hospitals and apartment buildings there was pretty good evidence that SARS was airborne, at least over short distances. Yes, I mean actually airborne, not ballistic droplets. I'm not thinking "yeah sure I knew that" in hindsight like people quite often do, this is from research I did in 2018. I wore P100 elastomeric respirators from the start of the pandemic, I didn't question for a second that it was airborne.
