Because the LUKS decrypt prompt is the gateway to your machine. Omarchy is designed to be a single user system, so after disk decryption it just autologs.

Dual booting was never a planned feature.

what if we dont want autologin. is that possible?

[inffy]

Then you are on your own, installing a login manager or something. Don't know why you would want that though

is hyprlock not a login manager?

In case of hw disk encryption (enabled in bios), how can I disable encryption in omarchy?

(Note: i am also a newbie)
No, hyprlock is a locking utility
Maybe sddm or gdm

I want to run my Omarchy SER8 as a server and ssh in but disk encryption on boot means if it power cycles I cant log in. How do I disable it? I am fully aware of the security implications.

I know this isn't meant to be a server OS but at the same time, servers with desktop environments are really useful when you need less technical people to also set them up and configure them with desktopy style software.

I also want to use Omarchy on the server, because it's Arch with everything I want installed and configured already (terminal wise).
