Actually,
the original meaning of 'apology' wasn't "I'm sorry" at all apology..Apology comes to English from the Greek roots of apo- (“away from, off”) and logia (from logos, meaning “speech”). The word's earliest meaning in English was “something said or written in defense or justification of what appears to others to be wrong or of what may be liable to disapprobation.” To anyone who has ever studied ancient Greek or read widely of certain philosophers, this will come as no surprise. Plato’s Apology of Socrates is an account of the self-defense presented at the trial of Socrates, not an explanation of how that philosopher admitted his transgressions. - https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/the-history-of-the-word-apology
Apologia - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apologia An apologia is a formal defense of an opinion, position or action. The term's current use, often in the context of religion, theology and philosophy, derives from Justin Martyr's First Apology

But agree, never apologize to those wanting to destroy you.
It is like letting sharks smell blood.
That’s why one course taught in seminary is “Apologetics”. Defending your doctrine ir faith.
