A probe collecting data in space takes <70 kB of memory. I fail to see how this statement should make me feel happy

I’m guessing you mean “does” in the sense of a user-facing feature.

I’ve heard that LinkedIn searches for several hundred known browser plugins to identify potential abusive users. If the “simple chat apps” aren’t doing that, then it’s apples-to-oranges.
