Check out :h initialization. It contains all necessary answers (note:
it is not explicitly mentioned *there* (it is in :h -S), but -S and -c
are processed in the same loop in the same initialization stage).

Note that &sessionoptions setting that allows disabling almost
everything is a great hint on *why* initialization is being done in
this order: it is rather explicit that session file assumes that most
of the initialization is done prior to loading it or omitting e.g.
options or mappings would not work normally (there are three main
variants:

1. Sessions are loaded prior to doing normal initialization: saving
mappings, options and globals in session files is almost pointless
because this way vimrc will simply override options from session.
2. Sessions are loaded *instead* of regular initialization: *omitting*
to save mappings, options and globals damages user experience,
especially given that most plugin managers require user to have
something in vimrc for plugins to work meaning that more things need
to be saved to work properly.
3. Sessions are loaded after regular initialization: mostly has no
problems, except cases like yours.
