when I only give command 'fit', my class does 'transform' too

I have created 2 classes, first of which is:

away_defencePressure_idx = 15

class IterImputer(TransformerMixin):
    def __init__(self):
        self.imputer = IterativeImputer(max_iter=10)
        
    def fit(self, X, y=None):
        self.imputer.fit(X)
        return self
    
    def transform(self, X, y=None):
        imputed = self.imputer.transform(X)
        X['away_defencePressure'] = imputed[:,away_defencePressure_idx]
        return X

and the second one is

home_chanceCreationPassing_idx = 3

class KneighborImputer(TransformerMixin):
    def __init__(self):
        self.imputer = KNNImputer(n_neighbors=1)
        
    def fit(self, X, y=None):
        self.imputer.fit(X)
        return self
    
    def transform(self, X, y=None):
        imputed = self.imputer.transform(X)
        X['home_chanceCreationPassing'] = imputed[:,home_chanceCreationPassing_idx]
        return X

When I put IterImputer() in a pipeline and fit_transform, the outcome is:

******************** Before Imputing ********************
7856     49.166667
12154    44.666667
10195    48.333333
18871    57.333333
267      48.833333
Name: home_chanceCreationPassing, dtype: float64
# of null values 70
******************** After Imputing ********************
7856     49.166667
12154    44.666667
10195    48.333333
18871    57.333333
267      48.833333
Name: home_chanceCreationPassing, dtype: float64
# of null values 0

It works fine.

But then if I put the two imputers into one pipeline as follows and fit:

p = Pipeline([
              ('imputerA', IterImputer()),
              ('imputerB', KneighborImputer())
              ])


p = Pipeline([
              ('imputerA', IterImputer()),
              ('imputerB', KneighborImputer())
              ])

X = X_train.copy()

p.fit(X)

even without transforming

display(X.head())
print('# of null values', X.isnull().sum())

the outcome would be like

    home_buildUpPlaySpeed   home_buildUpPlayDribbling   home_buildUpPlayPassing home_chanceCreationPassing  home_chanceCreationCrossing home_chanceCreationShooting home_defencePressure    home_defenceAggression  home_defenceTeamWidth   away_buildUpPlaySpeed   away_buildUpPlayDribbling   away_buildUpPlayPassing away_chanceCreationPassing  away_chanceCreationCrossing away_chanceCreationShooting away_defencePressure    away_defenceAggression  away_defenceTeamWidth

away_defencePressure            0
away_defenceAggression          0
away_defenceTeamWidth           0
dtype: int64

So the thing is only by doing 'fit', second last step is commited! and the last step is commited when I do 'transform'.

Does anyone know why such thing happens?
