I don't know why you would consider a background process inferior to a run-on-demand executable.
Well, the background process is hogging CPU and RAM while it basically does nothing. And when it's running as root there is always the danger of privilege escalation. LDA only runs when it's needed and since it uses only user rights it shoudbe more harmless.

why should it do that if it is idle?
and RAM while it basically does nothing.
guess what takes more RAM
one long-running prcoess or 5 LDA processes because you get 5 messages at the same time and guess what takes more CPU - a idle process waiting on a new connection or fireup a whole new process all day long
