What is the last non-segwit block mined ? (After segwit)

There is an important distinction here: just because a block has no segwit spends, does not mean the miner that created it is a 'non-segwit miner'. Such blocks may be formed incidentally, by miners that otherwise are aware of and follow the segwit rules.

Saying a miner is a 'non-segwit miner' implies that they would not follow the segwit consensus rules when crafting blocks. This means that they would allow transactions that spend segwit outputs, without providing segwit signatures. Such blocks would be considered invalid by the majority of the network (ie, all nodes that are aware of the segwit consensus rules), and thus would be ignored by all of those nodes.

So really, we should expect there to be no 'non-segwit miners' since the segwit soft-fork activated (block 481,824 was the first to include segwit-rule-following transactions), as any such miner would be constantly at risk of creating blocks which would be seen as invalid by most of the network. Creating such blocks would mean that miner was just wasting resources, with basically no chance of gaining any reward.
