That is not 2 separate buttons on the right, like I initially thought clicking through checkout.

Saying it’s a weak example of asshole design does not equate to defending Amazon.

It’s possible for Amazon to be extremely predatory and shitty, as well as this not being a very good example of how shitty they are, at the same time.

Possible yes, but does that really seem like reality to you in this situation? It doesn't to me.

I really don’t get it. They’re offering an upsell. At worst it’s minorly annoying.

I would assume they need to list the price of the upsell on that same page. I'm just speculating though; I'm not familiar with the relevant laws and haven't read the suit either.
