It's a practical wager that convenience will win. We see a similar thread in our coverage of "Chat with Sidekick to build your store and see it take shape instantly," where Shopify's AI agent lets merchants create stores through conversation.

That split raises a fair question about whether "for everyone" truly means what it sounds like.
