The way you can get a $20 more expensive charger option on the 14-inch is a strange upsell.

The 140W thing isn’t. It’s just poor timing. USB-PD currently goes up to 100W; a bigger standard is in the works but not finished. So, this was their best option: you can still charge via USB, but slowly. Or you can use MagSafe.
