initramfs extract line from /etc/crypttab to create its own crypttab
as you have seen in main/cryptroot/crypttab, and only for rootfs, not for
swap

swap is usually mounted after rootfs is mounted, thus using
/etc/crypttab. If you want to resume from swap you have to follow
paragraph 2.2.1 on
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Swap_encryption
If you don't need to resume you can follow the much easier chapter 1 on
the same url, using /dev/urandom as a keyfile.
