Remarks

This is the setting people usually mean by "centre the text". It is not TextAlignment, which only decides how lines sit relative to each other inside a multi-line block and does nothing at all to single-line text.

The names say where the anchor point sits on the text, so the text extends away from it: TopLeft puts the point at the text's top-left corner and the text runs right and down, while BottomCenter puts the point under the middle of the text, leaving the text sitting above it - which is what a label floating over an object wants.
