> you don't really need a stupid app to interact with them

Yes, you do, because they will not want to interact with you if you're not on the preferred app. This is the case even with adults: I somewhat regularly meet people who will flatly refuse to talk to you if you don't have a green bubble, or an Instagram account, or whathaveyou. These are educated professionals in their 20's and 30's.

Find better friends?

I didn't say they were my friends, I said the opposite, people I just met

That's a good indicator that they're people to avoid.

Cool, that's what I'll tell my kids when they're socially ostracized by most of their school.
