Companion software for hardware accessories has historically been terrible. I can't recall an instance where I wanted to keep companion apps besides drivers running in the background.

Whenever possible I would only open them for as long as I needed to configure something, then killed the process if it wasn't necessary.

Thankfully on the Mac I haven't encountered a need for those yet.
