I'm not sure if this is a bug, since the product page detection is done via regex in toolkit. Opening the referenced product page on desktop also shows the shopping icon. I don't think it's an S2 or even a bug since we can't detect unsupported product just based on a regex check on the URL, not sure if we should mark it a bug in fenix.

This is the expected behavior. The determination of whether a product category is supported is made on the server side and we don't want to send product URLs to the server before a user has opted in.
