Since v3.4.0 Lighthouse will opportunistically re-org late blocks when proposing.
44

5+
When Lighthouse is about to propose a new block, it quickly checks whether the block from the previous slot landed so late that hardly anyone attested to it.
6+
If that late block looks weak enough, Lighthouse may decide to “re-org” it away: instead of building on it, Lighthouse builds its new block on the grand-parent block, turning the late block into an orphan.

This feature is intended to disincentivise late blocks and improve network health. Proposing a
69
re-orging block is also more profitable for the proposer because it increases the number of
710
attestations and transactions that can be included.
