AIUI Apple won't license the MagSafe connector/protocol to third parties. So the only third party MagSafe-like chargers are made by small, Chinese (I assume) companies that appear content to disregard Apple's IPR and safety regulations like the CE mark. These companies tend to go for absolute lowest price they can, with the cheapest design and the cheapest components. It's my hope that future Macbooks and Macbook Pros will all go with USB-C charging. Meaning there can be a middle ground between unsafe bargain basement chargers, and fray-prone Apple chargers.
