Selfish mining is a thing in Bitcoin, isn't it? I saw a thread on Reddit arguing about it but I think it exists without being a bad thing or having any influence on difficulty. Or isn't it?
This is a really good article on Selfish Mining and related behavior: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/why-bitcoin-mining-pools-aren-t-incentivized-to-broadcast-blocks-quickly-1475249510
I suspect it wouldn't have an influence on difficulty because you're not finding fewer blocks than you would without selfish mining - they just aren't revealed as early.

Selfish mining will destroy the bitcoin network in a decade because there is no tail emission.
