Do we have any intel concerning the percentage that the editors gets in the best and worse case ? I'm wondering if it would be okay to buy AAA on such websites (or more like the company behind a game has enough money) but small editor games on official platforms...

They get none of the money because its purchased with stolen credit cards and the payment is charged back. I wouldn't lose any sleep screwing over a studio that has way too much money anyway, but you're also supporting the key reseller that is actively exploiting indie devs. Just stay away from them.
