maybe i'm dumb but what does it mean by "they didn't claim it"?

i don't know much about block construction. did they just send the fees to a null address or something like that?

When a miner finds a block, nodes will accept it as long as they don't award themselves more than the block reward + fees. But it is up to the miner to ensure that they send all those sats to an address they own. If they don't, the sats never come into existence (or get burned if they were fees).
