Finder Integrations running multiple times (M1 Mac mini, Big Sur)

On my Mac mini (M1) with Big Sur 11.2.2 (20D80), some of the Finder integrations / extensions (Mountain Duck, HudahSpot, Adobe Core Sync helper, SetApp Finder Integration, ...) run multiple – after some time even dozens of – times. This sometimes slows down simple operations like login back in substantially.

Does this mean the finder crashes all the time silently in the background?

Mac mini 2018 or later

As of today, even with all current updates (I'm on MacOS BigSur 11.3.1 (20E241)) after a while, the processes still accumulate:


ps -eco comm | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr

 175 Mountain Duck Finder Integration
 175 HoudahSpotFinderExtension
 175 FinderSyncExt
 175 ACCFinderSync
  21 MTLCompilerService
  16 distnoted
  14 com.apple.WebKit.WebContent
  13 com.apple.AppleUserHIDDrivers
  10 plugin-container
   9 PlugInLibraryService
   …


Any help?
