Xperia XZ come encrypted?

I don't remember encrypting my phone...... While it shows "encrypted" I can choose "None" as screen lock, so I guess there is something wrong here maybe? Also no response when I try to press it, so I can't "decrypt" it.

Default for phones sold with Android 6 and onwards:

Hi @zzpp,

As mentioned in the link that @alexdon referred to, devices that come with Android 6 pre-installed will be encrypted by default. This is because Google made in mandatory in Android 6.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
