database fields of an entity are not 'fields' to drupal and they won't behave as field api fields when handling/viewing the entity. They're considered 'properties'-- you'll need to expose them for viewing yourself via entity meta data wrappers.

the solution here: https://www.drupal.org/node/2220557
I got to add all the properties of an entity in "control of the display", while I added (except, of course, controllers), only here it is:

 class MyEntityMetadataController extends EntityDefaultMetadataController {
  public function entityPropertyInfo() {
    $info = parent::entityPropertyInfo();
    return $info;
  }
}

To output directly to the $ content that's in product_build_content:

  $product->content['level_1'] = array(       
    '#markup' => $product->level_1,
    '#prefix' =>'<span class="field-label">'.t('Level 1').':</span><div class="field-level_1 inline">',
    '#suffix' => '</div>',      
  );
 
  $product->content['level_2'] = array(
    '#markup' => $product->level_2,
    '#prefix' =>'<span class="field-label">'.t('Level 2').':</span><div class="field-level_2 inline">',
    '#suffix' => '</div>',
  );

In general, it is clear that if we want to get a good performance, it is possible to do so, but if full: multilingual, setting visibility label .... it is still a lot of work

That's what The result was: https://github.com/lukasvs/entity_with_properties_as_fields
