Shopify is associated with e-commerce shops. It would be much bigger news if this would be about an app for core e-commerce journeys, but Spotify builds Apps mostly for the merchants or in-store use cases where customers physically are already paying for a product. Performance matters less in such use cases as merchants or customers are already locked-in in the purchase flow and a drop out would be more costly for them (no sale). This is in no way comparable to AirBnb use cases. The use cases they migrated to React Native are rather simple - a list of orders, which customers will choose to use in order to get the status of their order - the customer's need is very high and optimization here does not bring much business value (conversions). The POS use case is stronger due to the expected responsiveness that is required, though it can degrade slowly over time and will not be noticeable (boiling frog) like in phones.
