Waydroid doesn't start because /dev/binder is named /dev/anbox-binder

For some reason, linux mounts binderfs devices with "anbox-" prefix, instead of mounting binder as /dev/binder.
Can someone help? I have no idea why this happens, and I don't have anything anbox related on my system.

This is what binderfs devices look like on /dev:

ls /dev |grep binder
anbox-binder
anbox-hwbinder
anbox-vndbinder
binderfs
binder-control

file /dev/*binder*
/dev/anbox-binder:    symbolic link to /dev/binderfs/anbox-binder
/dev/anbox-hwbinder:  symbolic link to /dev/binderfs/anbox-hwbinder
/dev/anbox-vndbinder: symbolic link to /dev/binderfs/anbox-vndbinder
/dev/binder-control:  symbolic link to /dev/binderfs/binder-control
/dev/binderfs:        directory

If I create new symlinks to /dev/binderfs/anbox-* with "anbox-" removed, Waydroid starts normally.
