How to stop user(s) requesting permission to create applications billed to the account
We are periodically getting an email from users stating they are requesting permission to create applications billed to the account. Checking in with one of the users, the request to create an app cam...
It's not a popup, it's an errant click on your users' part.
The apps ribbon looks something like this:
And when a user without app creation permissions clicks on 'New App', which always appears to the right of the 'tabbed' list of apps they've lately accessed, it will send the account owner the email request you're describing.
We have one user who does this HABITUALLY and it took us a while to figure out what was happening. I can all but promise you that if you take this description to your user(s) who are 'randomly' getting these 'popups' they will reveal that they do in fact regularly click on that area of the screen - probably the table home page that appears under that screen real estate, for their role (since the table home page button ribbon is what goes under the apps ribbon).
Unfortunately as I understand it there is nothing you can do but ignore the emails without taking some truly drastic and probably undesirable measures in the BOL realm. Though you can at least rest assured that those emails can safely be ignored.

Service Workers are very well behaved today and supported in all major browsers. In fact I would wager that most users have Service Workers registered from their casual browsing and don't even know it. To check visit this URL in Chrome:
Chrome ~ Inspect Service Workers chrome://inspect/#service-workers
The only real issue for me is that Service Workers may interfere with some of the QuickBase demos I have created in the past. Eventually I will run through all of my demos and patch things up. Quite frankly I think QuickBase will employ Service Workers in their mobile app eventually (to work off-line for example). Additionally, CloudFlare has adopted Service Workers for their Edge Computing Proxy API. Since QuickBase uses CloudFlare now there is an enormous potential to bring Service Worker into QuickBase stack which will greatly expand enterprise integrations, mobile and IOT capabilities.
