Do you know that block number 110002 had 12 transactions worth 1529 BTC ($92 466 581 today) in total, and for mining this block, a miner earned 50 BTC ($3.025.814), which he hasn't moved to anywhere since then. He probably did not care about these 50 BTC by the time he mined them, and today he just canned recover access to that wallet.
All miners who mined the first 210k blocks received 50 BTC for mining (the first block after the first halving - 210000), and a significant percentage (more than half) of these people still keep their rewards in wallets they initially received them to (or just lost access).
