Waydroid starts in background (for no apparent reason)

Is there any way I can disable Waydroid? Recently I was getting really bad lag in a game when usually it runs fine. I looked at Mission Center and saw Waydroid was running in background. I killed it with pkill -9 waydroid. But then some hours later, I again got lag (while watching a movie), and saw it was running again. The weird thing is that running sudo waydroid container stop and sudo waydroid session stop doesn't stop it either. In fact sudo waydroid status shows Session: STOPPED but its running in the background. Also it seems to start close all installed apps continuously (as you can see in the screencast).

I figured out how to disable it using systemctl disable and then mask but I wonder why it happened? I saw this in the log: SERVICE_START pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 msg='unit=waydroid-container comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=success' is there anyway I could stop it from autostarting in the background without disabling it? Also my computer was already on when waydroid started the second time it started so I don't think its starting just on boot
