Is it original? Not even a little.
But that's why we have come to expect it at least once in any game with waterfalls.
Honestly, I'm cool with it being an explicitly empty chest. Like put a journal next to it of some guy who looted it and left a note taunting anyone who thinks such an obvious place to hide treasure would remain un-looted. (and then let me track them down and stab them a bit for the taunt)
So many options, and all it takes is putting a lil something something behind some water curtains.
If your game has 10,000 I expect to find something interesting behind at least one. And as long as there's one, I'm content.
And I will still check the other 9,9999 even after being told there's nothing else.

Have you heard of tropes?

Apologies for those who have now lost the rest of their day...

Fuck’s sake devs, how’re you gonna put a space behind the waterfall for me to walk into, and not even put a coin there, or something? LoZ: LttP! Zora’s Waterfall! It’s a time-honored tradition! If you put a waterfall there, you put something cool behind it to find. Always satisfying. Devs who honor the tradition are GOAT.

They did it on purpose, just to troll you.
Every time I go through a waterfall and find nothing, I give the devs a virtual tip of my virtual trilby and virtually congratulate them on a virtual ruse virtually executed, because they virtually got me. Good virtual one, virtual guys.
The next waterfall always has something behind it.

There was one in the original Legend of Zelda, too.

Gamers when there's a giant alien spider behind the waterfall (it's already jumped at you and is screaming):
#It's Satisfactory. I ended up electrifying the entire cave system, lighting the whole place up, and going in with my hover pack to absolutely murder the fuckers from the air.

For a long time, I've been disappointed any time going behind a waterfall didn't drag me somewhere far away, or even just put me into a difficult-to-escape or even lethal trap.

How about putting a land mine there?
It's crazy how infrequently games actually hide things behind waterfalls.
Found the drowned cat
It's crazier how often they do.
