Quite true.
But, strictly-speaking, the Wacom screens aren't touchscreens anyway; they are digitizers. They don't respond to touch at all but rather track the motion of the bundled stylus. And they are a *lot* more precise than any touch screen if used with the proper software.
Using Wacom tech solely for gui control is kind of a waste of potential.
