The "times used" statistic for items does not reflect instances where the item is used (right click interaction) on a mob. This means that:
Name Tags
Leads
Horse Armour
Chests used on Donkeys, Mules and Llamas
Carpets used on Llamas
Any items used to breed animals
Are all uncounted in statistics. This seems inconsistent with the purpose of usage statistics, especially for Name Tags and Leads, where this is unequivocally their only use.
