Why on earth is Shopify not just a web wrapped in an app like most apps? I mean, they implement most of that stuff for the desktop anyway.

Seems like you've never had to worry about accessibility in hybrid apps...
We booted react native like 10 years ago and there is not much a web does not solve. We even did solve it for the desktop users anyway even before. A simple app as Shopify with mostly static content should not be any problem to build as a web.
There's quite a bit of research out there showing that application performance has a material impact on checkout conversion rate, so a single platform optimization potentially improves checkout for millions(?) of storefronts.
Google research from a decade ago that might as well been that their bot did not want to wait for pages to load. The performance difference between React native and a web wrapped in an app is pretty much zero today.
