Weren't they made after the Last Version of TDM was released?

Yes. They will be in the next TDM Version (thanks Mephisto!).
Then, the only way to get them is here:

They're really incredible and something one must take advantage of if one is playing an Organic race. This is probably the reason for the disparity you noticed.

I don't think so. smal TKP (physhic weapon) is as good as small electric discharge. But the best fighter weapon by far is small time distortion bLasts. Especially in late game when ships have 1000+ shielding.

I'd need to see damage and tonnage. I think, though I need the numbers to be sure, that the Small Electric Discharge has a lower mass, and that's the reason it's better than the Small Telekinetic Projector.

You do have a point about the Small Time Distortion Burst, but by that point in the game your opponent will have noticed your affection for fighters and his ships will have many PDC.

[edit: specifically I believe the SED puts out four-fifths the damage that the STKD does, but at three-quarters the mass.]

Yes, but fighters are not ships - smaller size does not allow you to pack more weapons. You may be able to put extra armor. I think small TKP fits better to space restrictions.
