Personally I think that "don't show label" and "always show entry" are two entirely different use cases, especially as "don't show label" simply does not exist in icons-only taskmanager, whilst "always show entry" does. Calling either of them pinned is, imho, a bad idea. Whether it should or should not be bound to activities is not something I can comment on, since I simply don't use activities. Muscle memory is why I use icons only task manager, the "do not show label" thing is more for users who use the "regular" task manager, and I think for a majority of them it's indeed two different use cases. Maybe one could have something a bit more smart, similar to sorting, where you can decide whether you want to manually tell which labels not to show, or all matching a specific rule, e.g. "has a launcher".
