Custom entity reference field always renders taxonomy term as a link

Problem/Motivation

I can't seem to update the view display options in a custom taxonomy term entity reference field so that terms are printed without a link to the referenced term.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a taxonomy vocab with a couple of terms to reference.
  2. Create a custom entity.
  3. Add an entity_reference field similar to this:
    $fields['region'] = BaseFieldDefinition::create('entity_reference')
      ->setLabel(t('Region'))
      ->setDescription(t('The geographic region of the study.'))
      ->setRequired(TRUE)
      ->setCardinality(FieldStorageDefinitionInterface::CARDINALITY_UNLIMITED)
      ->setSettings([
        'target_type' => 'taxonomy_term',
        'handler' => 'default:taxonomy_term',
        'handler_settings' => [
          'target_bundles' => [
            'region' => 'region'
          ]
        ]
      ])
      ->setDisplayOptions('form', [
        'type' => 'options_shs',
        'settings' => [
          'force_deepest' => 0,
        ],
        'weight' => 30,
      ])
      ->setDisplayConfigurable('form', TRUE)
      ->setDisplayOptions('view', [
        'label' => 'above',
        'type' => 'label',
        'settings' => [
          'link' => 0,
        ],
        'weight' => 30,
      ])
      ->setDisplayConfigurable('view', TRUE);

Note that "setDisplayOptions - view" contains a setting for link = 0.
If you create a piece of content of this entity type, I expect the term to be displayed in plain text, but it is always rendering as a link. I believe my structure is correct but perhaps it's not - it's hard to find relevant documentation.

Please inform me of the correct structure, or flag it as bug to be investigated if need be. Thanks.

    'type' => 'label',
    This is incorrect, this should be the id of the field formatter, i.e entity_reference_label

    My guess is that it's falling back to the default because the configured formatter doesn't exist. If not, it may be overrides in an entity_view_display config.

    If not, please provide steps to reproduce from a fresh Drupal core installation.

    An explanation has been provided in #5 as to why this is happening. And there has been no further communication to suggest this is still a problem.

    If you are experiencing this problem on a supported version of Drupal reopen the issue, by setting the status to 'Active', and provide complete steps to reproduce the issue → (starting from "Install Drupal core").

    Thanks
