You are almost certainly wrong. I've seen canvas used on many pages for rendering documents. Some frameworks render a majority of the UI in a canvas. Games are often in a canvas.
Fingerprinting and tracking done using many features. Canvas is one but not the only. Blocking canvas probably makes it easier to fingerprint you.
