The Wacom data collection program is OPTIONAL. Mr. Heaton buries this in his rant in the second to last paragraph.
Any professional digital artist (especially 3d) will tell you they use multiple pieces of software and that many benefits from having the tablet buttons assigned differently to facilitate efficiency as an artist. This is (probably) why Wacom products track the software you're using.

I don't see that in the second to last paragraph, and the word "optional" doesn't seem to appear anywhere. The driver being aware of which software is active makes sense and is legitimate. The driver sending that information to others is unnecessary and illegitimate (since explicit consent was not given).
