It looks like those applets and everything in dock's settings menu (the one you get with right-click on the dock) are just leftovers from Plank — dock it's forked from. And so they barely work and receive no attention from elementary devs.
Thanks for your report! We're doing a complete rewrite of the dock based on our recent UI study and this particular issue isn't able to be reproduced in the new version of the dock
Currently its only possible to access the "Applications" docklet menu if it was right-clicked. Left click, howered, doesn't do anything at all, which is pretty weird design solution. I suggest to add an ability to open it on a left click too, which makes more sense and just more comfortable to use.
