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

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.
