Pools are certainly disincentived from performing attacks; they would likely lose a ton of business if they were to do so. And miners in general are long-term holders that are disinclined to harm folk's confidence in the system.

However, a pool can still be a single point of failure; someone could exploit a vulnerability to hijack a pool for a short period of time.

Totally agree. That said, if Foundry double spent once, wouldn’t their pool go to zero as everyone would unplug from them? What size of double spend would be worth that?
