Can you unpack what you think makes apology (un)necessary?

This particular apology was unnecessary because I clearly wasn't offended. It conveys a frame wherein I was objecting to my time being wasted, as opposed to actually engaging with the topic with a disagreement - distracting from my actual point. A net negative message.
