With 20.25.1, this is no longer the case and you wind up with no swap at all.  You might want to not reformat that swap because you are using UUID and you have another system (multiboot) also using that swap and refering to it also by UUID.  This problem is reported by:

It might be related to this:

Since systemd is auto mounting certain partitiontypeguids, they don't need to be in fstab. There are few bugs filed as a result of the ensuing confusion. So it might be new behavior in anaconda 20.25.1 to ignore the request to reuse existing swap by adding it to fstab since it knows systemd is going to use it in any case.
