Reason why it is not showing in your Neon bash history is because of old bash/readline used. Once they get to the new versions, you will see the same.
Found more reports now of updated distros that users on readline 7/bash 4.4 see the xinitrc copied to bash_history.
Question left now, what is creating xinitrc on new installs.......
KaOS no longer ships it, uses only xinitrc.debug for new installs. If you remove ~/.xinitrc from an existing install, it won't come back. Live session does not have it either.
