How can you tell whether someone is treating an activity as a resume builder or if they genuinely value it and enjoy it

Competitions (when they exist) and/or impact.

Usually if someone has an impressive extracurricular that is tough to document, one of their recommendations will mention it in a compelling way.

As a simple example, a relative of mine was a co-founder and editor of the school newspaper at his high school… and it got banned for uncovering shenanigans within the administration and board of education.

That would stand out in an application.

How do you know that about trigonometry or precalculus?
