Is this the Mac mini from 2018? If so, it has the T2 chip in it, and they're encrypted by default. Turning on FileVault simply gives you the ability to decrypt it with a password.

yes, it is a 2018 mac mini. These are enrolled and setup not by any DEP, it's enrolled manually where i work.
Security & Privacy says 'filevault is turned off for the disk macintosh hd'
sudo fdesetup status says 'filevault is OFF'
diskutil apfs list. has disk1s1 Filevault NO (encrypted at rest)
so i'm confused, is it off or on ?
it's AD joined and I have a config profile to stop that stupid security token from popping up for each user. The first admin account i created says its fv2 enabled, while AD login users are not fv2 enabled.

@tcandela do you happen to have that config profile, to stop the security token from popping up, handy?
