end of story, its categorized as "orphaned"
Just as expected.

But im thinking.... why not creating a bitcoin fork to include all orphaned coinbase tx since genesis block up to this date? After all, the miners who received the "orphaned" made a computational work...
Not all nodes has the same set of orphaned blocks, some nodes don't even know that a miner's orphaned block exists if it received the block from the longer chain first.
We can check that your orphaned block isn't received by our node by using getchaintips RPC.
So you're thinking of letting nodes from that fork accept block rewards from blocks that the whole network isn't aware of.
