To solve that I feel like crafting should offer monetary incentives that don't rely on the player economy. Like maybe a weekly for maxed out omnicrafters that awards a large sum of gil.
They affect leaderboards, such as Ishgard and have been known to run dungeons and PvP, affecting the gameplay experience for the rest of the team. They fill the server and cause queues. They also frequently cause some dungeons to become choked up and break the instance queue, Amdapor Keep being the most popular botting dungeon.

They also heavily crash the price of gathering materials, not just crafting. As for your idea to award maxed out omnicrafters with gil, there are maxed out omnicraft bots. Not to mention pushing large sums of raw gil into the economy will cause inflation.
