Hypothetically miners could attempt to adopt a mining/relay policy wherein
they consider the age of the utxo being spent and factor that into the
feerate they consider when accepting the transaction into their block
template. However this would be an opt-in mechanism and miners can choose
to not take this into consideration when making the choice to mine the
transaction or not. If enough hashpower adopted this policy, you could end
up with a de-facto demurrage tax. This also means that you can do this
without a consensus fork if there was appetite for it.

However, I suspect there will be extreme resistance to this proposal and it
is unlikely that miners would intentionally leave otherwise-good fees on
the table simply because they want to play prisoners dilemma games where
they lose fees to the competition.
