I don't think "number of plugins" is a good comparison metric here. The Shopify app store is regulated + tested by Shopify before getting the approval to go live. WordPress plugins are the wild west, many of them incompatible with each other.

Regulated meaning a tightly controlled and closed "market"? Number of plugins isn't the greatest metric but it's a good leading indicator. It's kinda hard to estimate how many merchants and customers and volume of transactions have been processed when they aren't being tracked by a central entity ;)
