I wish people would stop saying this, the duty rating is the build quality not the load rating.
Look up light duty cords, they are usually ungrounded, have a flat wire or fabric sheath, and are usually in the ~6' length class.
A heavy duty 16g cord is perfect for christmas lights and battery tenders, that requires a cord be left out in the sun and rain. Im not using my nice 12 or 10g cords for that.

But it's purposely misleading. You're gonna have some grandma say they bought a heavy duty cord and try to run their high power appliance on it and cause issues.

When I included the words "heavy duty," I was looking at the description and the fact that it's a 16/3 grounded, outdoor-rated cord, which would set it quality wise above lighter, flat indoor 2-wire options. I get that some people reserve "heavy duty" strictly for 14/3 or 12/3 contractor-grade cords. Since that line can mean different things to different people, I updated the title to focus on the specs and avoid any confusion.

Appreciate everyone adding their perspective

The "duty" of an extension cord is to pass electricity over X distance. You are incorrectly substituting "build quality" for "duty." No one using extension cords for something other than Christmas lights is going to agree with your definition, regardless of "GoGreen Power's" marketing.
