Kira's dad simply showed up and gave him a stand that didn't help anybody in any way. Kira's dad was mostly just using the guy instead of hiring him, while successfully talked the guy into cooperation by offering supposed "freedom".

The claims of him being there for 3 years is actually pretty true. As he did say in the final exchange between him and Josuke that their fight reminded him of why he chose to be living on the abandoned electric tower in the first place (and his hands, just look at them). He sought to escape from human settlements, as he found them to be too scary/unfitting for him.

He seems to have been struck with the arrow only recently which created a stand that echoed with his ideal too strongly, causing him being physically trapped in the tower. Other than that, he was there to begin with.

I would imagine the reason to why he tried escaping from the tower was because it resembles too much with the "reality" he desperately tries to get away from. As in a very ironic fashion, instead of giving him the freedom he longs for and somewhat established in his current lifestyle, his own stand takes that away from him.

But then within the fight he learned to just accept his current fate as it is, with the reasoning that he at least tolerated being trapped in a tower better than being trapped in a system, and so he decided to stay.

In a way, the stand isn't actually harmful per se, it simply wishes to protect its user from the outside world that he is so afraid of, the only problem is that it's done so in an overly protective fashion like an extremely restrictive parent however the intention isn't originally evil. It's a little sad to be honest.
