Just take a look at source code of your miner and you wiil find all answers you need,
Some pools were caught on spreading source code that include some fee for pool. You sould account it as fair share for organising pool or theft, It is up to you, to accept that or deny.
If you get source code for your pool miner from third party, then you could fing that it do some work for third party.. That's also up to you to believe in some "better performance" of third party miner or check it by yourself and find out what is the real price.
If you use some binary you downloaded from some source and you didn;t check and compile source code by yourself, then it is you the worst enemy of yourself.
That's it. either you question everything, either you are fucked up. Simple as that.
I know you, you are smart enough to qestion everything. So just do it.
