I was wondering this too. The price difference is actually $16 not $20. Shopify Lite ($9) + TinyStore ($5). It seems like a pretty narrow niche and easily killed should Shopify address the narrow gap there. I would also wonder if Shopify already has the data to be able to make the judgement call that this narrow price range doesn't have the demand.

They have obviously made the decision that it doesn't make sense for a $134b company to solve this problem. But it probably makes sense for a guy solving his wife's problem to create this solution.
