Amazon Checkout. This should be illegal.

This is a community for designs specifically crafted to make the experience worse for the user. This can be due to greed, apathy, laziness or just downright scumbaggery.
I don't understand why there is so much defense for this in the comments. Amazon is a huge company with professional design teams, if part of their checkout process is even a little misleading in favor of an upsell it is definitely intentional.
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.
