Mining pools want stable daemon, because every time the daemon(s) crash or stall, the pool operator loses the pool's share of block reward... If the pool misses a lot of potential blocks, users eventually switch to another pool or mining another coin.

Clearing up some common misconceptions about Bitcoin...
Ok, but that is only one aspect or use case of it.
True... But as someone who started as a mining pool software developer, it's what I know best... It's true I also work on GUI and command-line wallets, but mining pools use neither as they use wallet daemon which is separate executable, but sometimes shares same backend code.
Interesting. I see.
