From Dell I can buy a 30w charger for £11.63, or a 90w charger for £19.55.
From Apple I get just a mains lead for £19.95. Apple have 30w USB C charger (with mains plug) for £49, and all their other Mac chargers are £79.
The Apple chargers are nice, but I don't get the hostility to the Dell chargers. Why are people looking at the charger?
If we're talking about chargers, what's wrong with the company culture at Apple that nobody says - "hang on, why are we gently electrocuting our users? shall we fix it?"
