Memory that is only used for initialisation or used for features of the 
program that are not selected is very common.

One would hope that if you turned off Bluetooth in hardware settings the 
system would detect that and shut down the applet.  I think that systemd is 
heading in that direction.  If you do a Mobian install on a PinePhonePro with 
Plasma Mobile then all the KDE stuff is started as Systemd units, but this 
doesn't happen with the desktop version of KDE on Debian/Unstable.
