Yes but it is as likely as you walking to the correct beach and picking the exact grain of sand that is the one needed to open your wallet.

In my analogy you walking to the Beach and picking a grain of sand that works is as fast as a thousand super fast pc's trying to crack your seed.

It depends on the number of seeds you have and the number that are exposed. Say you have like a 12 word seed phrase and you are looking for just 4 with 8 known, then it wouldn’t take much of a time to get that through btcrecover tool but one of the addresses attached to that seed phrase must me known. But for 24 seed phrase which has a higher entropy it will take a million years to achieve that with the current computers available. So yes there is a possibility with a super computer in the future but we don’t have that now. And should we get there which is not something that will happen soon bitcoin addresses would have been moved to a more secure cryptography then

That is not possible as of now so far your seed phrase or part of the words of your seed phrase is not known to an hacker. If you generate the seed phrase and no one knows about the backup and if you are not careless online with it, no one can brute force it.
