After reading through OP, I noticed a few things do not add up.
Miners are people that validate transactions on any blockchain to ensure that each transaction meets the network standard (no double spend, etc). Because a few apps on playstore throws the term around doesn't mean that it is correct. People that just interact with applications whether on-chain or telegram are regarded as just users when they simply just interact with the protocol or app and farmers if they interact with the expectation of an airdrop. It's not the same as shouldn't be regarded as such.
There's plenty of misinformation like this about Bitcoin today which is why it's taking longer than expected to get massive adoption. To become a miner for any blockchain, you actually need to do some kind of computation not just to "interact with a few apps".
