QA tested this on 1.12 and the issue is not present. Safe to assume there is some code the not included in the uplift needs to be present. Let's just revert https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/5957 and wait until 1.12 for these changes. Thank you again QA team.

Just some more context, also reproduced using the following build:

I'm not seeing any usage pings under https://laptop-updates.brave.com. As per @keur, this is working on 1.12.x and was QA'd via https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/5720#issuecomment-654936830 and https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/5823#issuecomment-654947673. @LaurenWags also confirmed that it's working on 1.12.x.

Reverted via https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/6032. W should recheck to make sure pings are still working once we get a new 1.11.x 👍
