Xorg / wayland chooser option missing from sddm in plasma 6.4

After upgrading to plasma 6.4, the Xorg / Wayland, the option to choose Xorg / Wayland is missing from the login page in sddm. How can this be re-enabled once again?

This is a guess:
Install the now separate package kwin_x11.

I have both the kwin-x11 and the plasma-x11-session installed.

kwin-x11 has indeed been split off from kwin by Arch. They say to install kwin-x11 if you want x11, but that is not correct as it will not provide an x11 session. The correct solution would be to install plasma-x11-session. In Arch that is an optional package.
For Artix users no manual action should be needed as plasma-x11-session is installed as a dependency, and not optional.

In the previous post I said that I have both installed but the option still does not show.

If plasma-x11-session is installed correctly, what is the output of:

ls -l /usr/share/xsessions/

It is an empty folder. Whereas reverting back to 6.3.5 creates a desktop shortcut named plasmax11.desktop.

plasma-x11-session can't have been installed right as it only contains one file which is:
/usr/share/xsessions/plasmax11.desktop

I installed sddm to test it, and all the entries I'd expect to be in the list of sessions were showing up.

I had installed the plasma-x11-session but for some reason it did not install the .desktop file. I used pacman with an overwrite option and it solved the issue.
