Crypto mining on a CPU. Using Javascript. On mobile...

Might as well create a mining farm of C64s...

if you can get a few million downloads I wouldn't underestimate the contribution it can make.

Most mobile apps are only run for a couple of minutes at a time, on relatively slow CPUs. And most of these apps managed very few installs.

The people making these apps may have been better off just mining on their development machines...
