Can’t remember the name for that flexible join between the pool coping and the deck, but OP yours looks like it’s in good shape, not shrunken or dried-up or anything like that. Depending on outdoor weather conditions, you can expect that to last for years.

One option to consider is taking on the weekly maintenance yourself, and then paying someone to do the bigger occasional jobs such as cleaning the filter. The only thing I’ve ever heard of really really really not being a DIY task is replastering the pool…and there’s a blog of a guy who actually did that himself.
