I came here precisely to say 30-40% of websites seems remarkably high.
The number of actual canvas elements used as canvases I've noted in the wild is pretty small. I've been playing with the canvas element since it was a Safari exclusive they added to make building dashboard widgets more powerful, and I can probably say the number of times I've found them actually useful in building a site is on one hand.
I think you're right that most of them are probably for fingerprinting.
