output profiles are not really a good indication as

1) Often a single output profile works for multiple devices
2) I suspect most users never change it once it is set by the welcome wizard
3) Many users have more than once device

To do this right, calibre would need to collect the usb ids of detected devices and send those, even then it will miscount people using over the air methods.

Given the amount of brouhaha collecting even the basic usage stats has caused from the tin foil hat brigade, I really don't want to start this, even though I fully agree that doing so is in no way a privacy violation.
