That's quite an interesting observation.  Could you tell me what DM
(gdm, sddm, sway) you're using?

The gnome-keyring PAM service works by adding an auto_start login
entry, that refers to gnome-keyring's
/lib/security/pam_gnome_keyring.so.  I don't think you need GNOME
keyring installed for that to run, but the default configuration
assumes you're running GDM.  You will need to adjust it if you use
something else.
