Because if Shopify gets the take-down request and ignores it, they are now potentially liable for the infringing content remaining available after the complaint has been made. Reviewing each complaint requires billable hours for someone, and just blanket accepting every one and removing the content is easily automated and incredibly cheap. And because they're so big and handle so many websites, even if every complaint is invalid and bullshit, the stores that get nuked in the process won't hurt their bottom line as much as a potential IP lawsuit would.
