The button should be removed, seeing as you must apply through the group section.

I unknowingly applied for a group this way and was blacklisted too, I think.

I agree with this, Omniscient should remove the ability for users to apply for a group through the UserCP, to prevent these mistakes from occurring. Applying from the Group and Crew General Discussions section is better and more efficient.

But, as the Help Documents state, he doesn't take layout suggestions.

This really sounds like a good idea but also a waste of time on omni's part.

Anything can be a waste of time for thyself, but if it is beneficial to others, why not?

If I'm correct Omni is going to work on something regarding groups and the way leaders maintain them (I could be wrong, but it's what I just remember being said before.)
