Many airports accommodate both domestic and international passengers in mixed areas. The only other way I can see duty free shops working us if domestic passengers were actually banned from making purchases. This used to be the case within the EU, at some airports at least.

Arguably, duty_free=export is the default meaning of duty-free.

In this case the shop is a "duty-free shop", it's just that not
everyone gets the same prices there (because you can't take advantage
of the tax/duty-free status if you're not leaving the customs area).
