The alternative explanation is that the blockchain app is built on Ethereum, which removes the mining requirement, but I'm unclear on its exact details.

what do you mean by removes the mining requirement? my understanding was that ethereum still needed miners, but the miners were responsible for running the programs as well?

No you don’t need to run full ethereum nodes to run programs, but you do need ether to maintain contract state on the blockchain.
