Description of the bug
When using a multiline (text area) field with plain text processing, it is expected that line breaks will apply to the rendered page, but they don't. Drupal 8/9 inserts <br /> tags.
Steps To Reproduce
- Add a field with a "Text (long)" field type and "Text area (multiple rows)" widget.
- Set the Text processing to "Plain text"
- Create content using the new field with multiple lines of text.

Actual behavior
The field is rendered without line breaks.

Expected behavior
The line breaks should be applied to the rendered page.
