Only if said lost coins have had some shred of their private key or seed phrase exposed, or any other fragment that would allow signing a spending transaction from it.


Don't see it happening, though, so they may be marked as lost to the cause of BTC being more scarce in the long run.
Even if we speculate - how a person not associated with them would be able to find the keys?
