clarification
I'm looking to get the number of files in each directory under a given path.
But only the top level of each directory (don't include files/directories from
subdirectories in each processed directory)
Example from your statement:
# du --inodes -d 0 --all /usr
119613 /usr
In this case, the number of entries directly within /usr is 15 (files,
directories, etc), but this is reporting all the files that exists within /usr
and all other subdirectories.
A script that does what I mean is fairly simple but hardly a simple one liner.

for directory in $(find <directory> -type d); do echo "$(ls -a $directory | sed
'/^\.$/d;/^\.\.$/d'| wc -l) $directory"; done

As there's no reproducer / example, I'm quite bit confused what is the point.
Maybe you want to try a combination with -d?
-d, --max-depth=N print the total for a directory (or file, with --all)
only if it is N or fewer levels below the command
line argument; --max-depth=0 is the same as
--summarize
Have a nice day,
