The thing is, you can rephrase:

> by doing an experiment on Android while maintaining native on iOS

as:

> by throwing their Android users under the bus

It may be a cynical take but it's not an invalid one to take when the thrust of the rest of the paragraph comes down to "the native app's performance is so good, we couldn't dream of changing it".

I don't know if you read the article or not but the title is very clearly: "React Native is the Future of Mobile at Shopify". So the Android experiment was successful.

Also, ios is “easy” when it comes to doing react-native. So by doing the hard one first, they have a lot more confidence in the rest.
