But yes - my impression was always that the Doom games mostly focused on having cool levels, with plot as an afterthought. Marathon gave more of a sense of the levels having been designed around a plot.
Precisely. Pixel clocks in van Eck's day were perhaps a few MHz, and the image was displayed by firing a modulated electron beam at a sheet of glass (i.e. a lot of power being manipulated in a fairly unconfined manner). Modern displays can have pixel clocks above 1 GHz, the amount of power being switched is much less, and that power is used in a very small space (the thickness of the LCD). Even given that receiving technologies have improved as well, the odds are against the eavesdropper.
In fact, without some fairly new (and poorly supported) extensions, it's impossible for an application running in a terminal to distinguish between ^J and a "real" press of the return key. The same goes for tab vs. ^I, Esc vs. ^[, and so on.

TBH, this one is just a terrible technical decision that Telegram made ages ago ("we use WEBP to represent stickers, therefore all WEBPs are stickers"). It's not the only weird file-format decision they made; see also "all short MP4 videos with no audio are actually GIFs". :)
Non-tech companies are getting sucked in, too - see, for example, the applications for .airliquide, .capitalgroup, .dinebrands, .massimodutti, .newbalance, .stubhub, .warhammer, .zarahome, and so on.
From what I've seen thus far, most brand TLDs never get used. (The only significant exception that comes to mind is .google, and even they never really committed to using it.) Who's been going around convincing these companies to apply for this round?
