What makes them immune?

The block winning hash gets a bonus. If you withhold blocks from this pool your hurt your own profitability far more then you harm the pool. It turns block withholding into a pyrrhic attack without forking the chain or compromising hasher privacy or fairness of the payout.

Yeah, but I guess there would be some degree of descresion right? The1 Bitcoin bonus may be enough for some, but could be others who are greedy for more, right?

Not sure I follow what you're saying.
