So often (at least in my experience) an ‘apology’ is just used as camouflage for another attempt to argue the point of view of the one supposedly apologizing. Nope, sorry. Try again.
If an apology does not include an explicit and expressed admission of guilt without excuses, it’s not an apology. It’s a con job.

I mean, by definition, an apology that doesn’t include an understanding of transgression, a plan to improve, and a statement of guilt, isn’t a proper apology.
Yet, you would be surprised at how widespread this error is. “Hey, I just wanted to apologize for our disagreement, but you really should see things my way.” It’s so prevalent, it’s a textbook red-flag for an abusive personality.
