If their sales team is sending emails to interns, their strategy is very questionable indeed.

I don't know any details here, but it might have been just one of those "hey <developer position> we'd love to show you how <product> can help you save <time/money/both> - contact us for a demo " kinda things which wouldn't be too weird.

There was a custom blurb about Shopify and talk about "adoption" and alignment with my team, along with a followup email when I didn't respond. Weirder part was that my email wasn't public (but guessable, first.last@shopify) so they must've gone through some manual process to find people to contact

They will happily waste the time of anyone willing to take a call. They are so sleazy they make Oracle look clean.
As an intern at Shopify, I got an email from MongoDB asking us to switch. Shopify was 10 years old the time. Plus several coworkers would also receive similar emails two years later (and some in between of course).
I have a shirt from MemSQL that says "Friends don't let friends NoSQL" and I wear it proudly.
