How are you starting X in the first place?  Are you using a
display manager?  Are you running startx?

In the former case, this is perfectly normal for many display
managers, including SDDM.  GDM, if I'm not mistaken, can and does
run X as a regular user if possible.  Upstream has been talking
about  adding this functionality to SDDM for a while, but so far
it still hasn't been merged.
