ghc-heap doesn't support profiling

ghc-heap should show an accurate representation of what's on the heap. When profiling is enabled the profiling header is just completely ignored and not represented in the StgInfoTable.

https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/libraries/ghc-heap-8.6.1/GHC-Exts-Heap.html#t:StgInfoTable

A new field should be added to StgInfoTable with type Maybe ProfilingHeader just like we already have for tables next to code.
