Did the house builder do your pool before close, or are you talking about an independent pool builder? If it's the latter, the company that built your pool will be out of business, but there will be a newly incorporated pool building company stood up in its place soon.
Nobody in Houston that I know that also had a pool has had this issue, but our ground is wetter than y'alls. But if they were a pool builder in your area, they should have known that. And it's not just the shell you need to worry about, don't forget there's all kinds of plumbing that's buried that is being slowly stressed the same way.
Are you really Owe?

Seems to be an ongoing problem in central in Texas. LINK /
Concrete cancer is not the same as settling. My neighbor is dealing with concrete cancer with their pool. They have been fighting for over a year with the builder. I'm not sure how, but their homeowners insurance is covering it.
But there's no cracking or sinking of the deck around the pool, it's the shell of the pool cracking without moving and nothing can be done about it.

Yes that would mean the pool is unlevel

They will almost certainly blame the soil, rain, or pretty much anything but their work.
And they will almost certainly be correct. This is an engineering problem. The pool was probably installed without any geotech work being done. I would read the proposal that they gave you (I assume that was your contract) and see what it says about being indemnified against soil failure. If it says nothing you might have a case. If you signed a document saying that you would indemnify them for sinkage then you are probably at fault here. But even if that’s the case I’d still consult with an attorney who specializes in that.

Did you build up land and then install the pool? If so, that dirt has to settle first before install.

Can’t help. I am a snooker expert.

Take some water from the deep end and pour it into the shallow end.
