Then in the example I highlighted, "use" would be correct I think. Often "use" can be used in place of the even uglier "utilize" and "utilization",

"Usage" is about the way something is used, rather than the fact of its being used. In English, there was, usually, a good reason for more than one word to exist with generally similar meaning. There would be a nuance (English word?? Another strength of English - if we have no suitable word, we'll borrow one) of meaning.
