One of more possible things around your display manager is happening,

1) not using your login shell to start graphical environment, but does uses a shell that reads .profile
2) it is manually checking for and sourcing it before starting the graphical environment, possibly with or without your login shell
3) something else unrelated to zsh.


And is seemingly documented on the archlinux wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LightDM#X_session_wrapper
