Shapiro works within the cynical niche of "owning the libs" that his community's permit. His communities being the Jewish community and Republican Neocons. If he drifts too far either side, feedback brings him back on track. In 2016 he was a never-Trumper, in 2018 he was Pro-Trump (and a warhawk), now he's back to Never-Trumping. He does this so he can get himself on TV. Fox etc will have him on, because they know what he will say and, more importantly, they know what he will not say.
Shapiro is designed to trap people into a safe ideological holding pattern, much like Tim Pool and Joe Rogan. That's why these people are not de-platformed.
That's why Leftists talk about a "pipeline to the Alt-Right" (Alt-Right is a misnomer anyway), "pipeline to the truth" would be more accurate. Each talking-head in the "pipeline" works within their niche and they don't crossover so as not to pinch audience from each other. In effect they are preventing a massive truth cascade by locking people into their orbits. Truth-seekers will find their way though.
You are correct pede and this is why Alex Jones was effectively censored off the known net. People pumped Alex Jones on youtube to such a n-th degree that when they made it to the truth pipeline a single search on any topic had Infowars.com slapped in the top 10. Now its just a bunch of milktoast fence sitters clogging the pipes
