Since the Papacy in 1307 was pretty much owned lock, stock, and barrel by King Phillip of France, and the suppression of the Templars was his idea, shouldn't they be asking the French government for an apology?

Yep, that was my initial reaction.
The actor behind the whole thing was the King of France, not the Papacy.

If I remember correctly, Pope Clement was one of the "anti-Popes" residing in Rome, installed by the king. The Pope/anti-Pope controversy split the Church at the time, and the anti-Pope was more a political figurehead than a religious one.
