The usage statistics need to be accessible via the PowerBI REST API.
1. GET all Dashboards, Datasets, etc. of all Users.
2. GET Reports, Tiles and Datasets to a Dashboard.
3. GET Users who use what Dashboard most.
4. GET the most used Tiles in a Dashboard.
5. GET the most active Users.

RE: Usage statistics via REST

Currently, building tenant-wide Power BI adoption metrics requires to export Audit log events, then to reimport them into a data set to analyse them. The process should be much simpler.

RE: Usage statistics via REST

Current existing API are providing some of the requests in this ideas.

However I am missing one, critical for me and my users.
Currently we can't get the users from other Workspace than the one user we are connected with using the Powershell Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod.
Strangely we can access datasets for any Workspace.
I am speaking of a context of a PowerBI Admin.

I'd like to add to this. Get inactive users with pro license and provide content pack for this
