Set date format to dd/mm/YYYY not working in product details

[jgodart]

Preconditions

1. Magento 2.1.3

Steps to reproduce

1. Define date format to dd/mm/yyyy in Stores/Configuration/Catalog/Date
   
2. Try to create a new product with New product date

Expected result*

• Exemple with attribute : "news_from_date"

1. Normal that show you a date with this format :
   

Actual result*

• Exemple with attribute : "news_from_date"

1. 

Details

This blocking point is all the more strange because in the details of the attribute "news_from_date", the date that you can assign by default appears correctly, with the format dd / mm / yyyy but not correctly on the details of the product.

By any chance, did you save this setting at or Website or Store level? If so, I would try setting it at the global(Default) level (store-specific settings are usually effective in the storefront only and not in admin)

It is also a bit funny that there isn't a similar setting to use for the frontend: the actual format used for showing review dates, order dates etc. to the customer is just randomly hardcoded as either \IntlDateFormatter::LONG or \IntlDateFormatter::SHORT.
