Possibly for the bug/feature that causes an iPhone connected by USB to connect and disconnect repeatedly on a ~2sec cycle, The bug leads to endless modals appearing on the iPhone, and sometimes iTunes opening with each reconnection.
That's right! Drove me nuts when I didn't know I could do this since the problem would go away for a while when I bought a new cable.
Have you tried unloading the daemon instead of stopping it?
