Controller-runtime's leader election works by killing the running process when the leader is lost, consequently being restarted by the runtime env. This works nice for a control plane component, but it'd work badly with haproxy ingress because it currently embeds the data plane as well on its deployment, making haproxy to restart on every instance that looses an election. Controller-runtime behavior is not configurable, so we need to implement our own leader election control.
