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
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
sudo waydroid container stop
and
sudo waydroid session stop
sudo waydroid session stop
doesn't stop it either. In fact
sudo waydroid status
sudo waydroid status
shows
Session: STOPPED
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).
