It takes a lot more effort to see that the last item is using more
memory.  Especially if you're not that comfortable with the K, B, G
meanings.

The "56 K"  takes up more room and looks bigger than "5 G" despite
being much much smaller.

This could be done, but increases the size of the column a tiny bit.
Maybe worth the sacrifice though.
