I think it's not immediately obvious why they would.
I agree, it's not immediate application. But Bayesian is one of the most important or fundamental knowledge to develop these cutting-edge technologies.
How? I'm experienced with spacecraft design and the like, and have never heard of Bayesian probability theory being used. If it was fundamental I'd expect some mention, somewhere.
If you look hard enough, you can find it in e.g. (linear) regressions and Kalman filtering.
