How to make a macOS screen saver (wadetregaskis.com)
netruk44 28 days ago [-]
I wonder if the reason why the screensaver process doesn’t exit has something to do with the live wallpapers they added to macOS a few versions ago.

The live wallpapers become your screensaver, playing the video. Then when you move your mouse, the video continues until it finds a “good” stopping point.

Might explain why the screensaver process lives on forever for seemingly no reason.
