  • There are different attacks on the LUKS password and the root password. By using the same password for both of them you open both up to all possible attacks on each of them. – user Feb 17 '20 at 21:37

I don't have enough reputation to comment, so I'll post as an answer.

In general terms, you should never use the same password twice.
Manjaro is only enforcing and trying to make it mandatory.

Maybe this answer here can give you a better overview.
