One of the pens is $19.99 --- and they don't require a battery --- have you priced AAAAs? Purchasing them for the stylus for my Fujitsu Stylistic 2300 was a recurring, annual expense. They also last for decades --- how many disposable pens does a typical person go through in a year? (I use fountain pens myself, currently an Esterbrook Dollar pen w/ a 9312 medium italic nib)
Wacom tablets have had pen ID#s for a long while, affording one the option of switching tools (and pressure / sensitivity settings) by switching pens in graphic design programs --- very handy. There are also styluses which mimic the shape and effect of airbrushes and marker pens.
There is no way anyone could get an exclusive deal w/ Wacom --- too many existing contracts. Even an attempt to purchase the company wouldn't be feasible due to legal ramifications.
