why i cannot see the sender of those 50BTC?

You can't identify a sender because there is no.
What you were looking at is a coinbase transaction (not related at all to the exchange called coinbase; they just used that term as a company name).
This is the mining reward. They assign themselve the current reward (earlier 50 btc, then halving every ~4 years; currently 12.5 btc).
This is the (only) way of generating bitcoins, mining them.




and last transaction from this address was 18-03-27 12:57:12 ... so someone spend 10 years without spending those bitcoin?

Yes. This is nothing unusual. Thereare quite a few possibilities why they didn't got moved yet.
He may:
  • have forgotten about it
  • have made a mistake and included an address without holding the private key
  • have lost the private key (e.g. hard drive damaged)
  • have a lot more btc's and those are a part of his 'holding stack'
  • etc..
