MacOS Wacom Pen Scrolling doesn't function in AE viewer

I have to move from Win to Mac systems but stumbled upon a glaring issue in AE. 

Using a Wacom Pen set to either Pan/Scroll or Pan/Scroll (Legacy) causes AE to turn the cursor into the Hand Tool to move the comp canvas around rather than perform a scrolling operation. 

This is messed up because I want to use scrolling to Smooth Zoom rather than pan around.

I don't want to use keyboard shortcuts because that can only be in steps. I also don’t want to hold the zoom tool because it often sticks or is unresponsive.

I'm not sure what AE is doing communicating with the Wacom/driver but only AE has this issue. On Windows it's totally fine.

I'm on Tahoe using the latest Wacom Drivers and a Intuos Pro CTH-660 tablet.
