To be fair, the Amazon page is extremely misleading with regard to this.

https://www.amazon.ca/ORIGINAL-MACBOOK-Magsafe-ADAPTER-CHARG...

ORIGINAL OEM APPLE MACBOOK PRO 60W Magsafe 2 [...] by Apple-Computers

But it's not really by Apple, it's by cable_connexion and is a generic. Amazon does a really lousy job of policing what's put into the "From" field on their site - I'm surprised it hasn't gotten them sued yet.

That's entirely on Amazon. There's keyword spam (for model numbers), the seller is "Apple-Computer" (Apple dropped the 'Computer' from it's name several years ago), and only has good ratings (the one 3-star rating is only about the shipping and lists no detail, and the rest only mention shipping, so they're probably fake/bought).
