Accepting bitcoin payments will benefit it and help BTC become more popular but if we stand in the position of the business. Honestly, I don't see any benefit to them or their customers so I don't think they will implement it anytime soon.

Most of these online shopping platforms have return and refund policies. Just think, how complicated and costly would it be for businesses to issue refunds when the price of bitcoin fluctuates hourly? Not to mention transaction fees are also a problem because most of the items on Shopee are cheap items, as you mentioned.

By the way, Uber has not officially accepted direct payments in bitcoin or cryptocurrency, it is all just plans.
