Chapter thumbnails are not the same as video preview thumbnails.  
The former only produce one picture for every chapter marker, while the latter produce a picture every 5 seconds (by default).  
So the amount of storage required for chapter thumbnails is quite negligible (unless you have files with hundreds of chapters).
