They're also very high quality when compared to cheap Chinese chargers that can electrocute the user, catch fire, or only produce a small fraction of their rated power safely. Are they overpriced when you factor that in?

Here is a cost breakdown: https://www.righto.com/2015/11/macbook-charger-teardown-surp...

They are 8-10x a basic utility of your laptop. That breaks faster then my laptop. I travel a lot, cable generally lasts a year.
