Absolutely not.
miners definitely run nodes like you mentioned in a comment, but node runners ultimately control the decisions because they decide what is a valid transaction and whether or not to broadcast said transaction.
If you make a fork that nobody adopts and it's just your mining pool, running that fork and the rest of the network says to bug off, your transactions are invalid, then you get a Bitcoin Cash / BSV scenario.
