Personally i believe that Satoshi do deserve nobel prize for his work.
Indeed, Satoshi deserves at least one Nobel prize for his work.But there's a "logistics" problem. Satoshi's identity is not known, even more, the world is full of Satoshi impersonators/wannabes. And I would not be surprised one of those will try to go to get the prize. And such development has the potential to end up badly for both the bitcoin community and the organizers too.
Impostor Craig Wright would be first in line to get it.
because everyone knows who is him. I don't think Satoshi will reveal himself only to get the award because so many years have passed already and he still choose to be anonymous. I see that there is a website for this noble event where they display the bio and the image of the awardee.Even if Satoshi didn't receive his physical prizes, they can always put the logo of btc in that site or maybe a faceless image with some btc images on it? And then they put his bio if who he is and what is his contribution. If ever Satoshi is there, he will be proud of that already and this gives an extra exposure for bitcoin.
