Along with the other suggestions, if Shopify were looking to build a POS (point of sale) device - a "Shopify terminal" - on low cost low power hardware then Labybird could be a good fit for the UI.
There are other browser engines targeted at this sort of embedded product, and ladybird obviously isn't specifically targeting it. But it may be a good play due to licensing and royalties if they expect to build millions of them.
Another could be to build a WYSIWYG rich text editor. Obviously a lot of Shopifys front end is about point and click building a store visually. "contenteditable" based editors are a nightmare of browser inconsistencies and bugs. If you could compile Ladybird to WASM and render to a html canvas, you could side step all that with your existing editor, only having to target one "browser".
I've not seen anyone do that yet, but I think it's a really compelling use case.
(Accessibility of canvas based UIs is still an unsolved problem though)
