Mining pools are also a kind of super node; do they run against the idea of decentralization? Some people say no since mining pools cannot cause much harm and some people say yes but offer no alternative.

If a mining pool doesn't pay out the earnings, it quickly gets abandoned by miners, and stops being a 'super node'.
