Aside from the backward compatibility issue, LC is being consistent within its own paradigm. All LC objects have a margin: buttons, fields, progress bars, players, images. If a group had no margins it would create an internal inconsistency, which might just be another type of confusion for new users. Margins are pretty much universal in LC.

I do see that widgets in LC 8 do not always have margins though.
