the problem is that you are also having things that just don't make
sense; even for the generalized case...
but I guess that is for Ubuntu to resolve. I don't see the machines I
run (with Fedora) exhibit this same issue; while there are a bunch of
modules, none of the ones that are expensive-and-useless in your charts
are there.
