What prevents Dash miners from refusing to pay to masternodes?

I struggle to understand the repationship between Dash miners and masternodes. The proposition is that masternodes provide additional services to the network and automatically get paid a part (45%) of the block reward. What I don't understand is how this share is enforced.

From the Dash whitepaper:

When mining on the network, pool software (websites that merge the efforts of individual miners) use the RPC API interface to get information about how to make a block. To pay the Masternodes, this interface must be extended by adding a secondary payee to GetBlockTemplate. Pools then propagate their successfully mined blocks, with a split payment between themselves and a Masternode.

What prevents miners from simply ignoring the masternodes and assigning 100% of block reward to themselves?
