I haven't found that to be the case for Shopify. Our theme is in git and each developer has their own development shop (hosted by Shopify for free).
Using the Shopify theme tool, changes in the local file system are automatically published to their development shop. The experience is the same as if you were running a local instance.
Production deployment is simply having a different folder mapped to master and watched by the theme tool too.

in my experience this has been really annoying. changes can be pushed up nearly instantly, or sometimes they can take more than 5 seconds. this makes livereload unreliable.
