Unless I'm very much mistaken, there are no application specific configs set on default install of Wacom drivers, just a generic 'All' profile.
If, and only if, I had set up an app-specific config, then maybe Wacom would be vaguely justified in tracking when I open that specific app.
'wantonly collecting unrelated data' is exactly what they're doing.

I'm sure there is a better way for Wacom to do things. I'm also pretty sure their staff are doing the best they can.
