I guess he also needs some amount of reasoning to explain his mistakes. I do too, and it somehow infuriates people if an apology contains anything but ‘groveling’.

Doesn’t it show that I’ve properly reflected on how I could screw up like this so O can adjust my behavior in the future to avoid it?

An apology 100% does not need explanation or justification of why mistakes were made.

And if you're going to put those in, you 100% need them not to be "Our company is doing it really hard due to COVID, so we though we'd just {{monetise user data provided under strict expectations of total privacy}} "

People who beat their partners regularly say "look what you made me do!". Ammon just said "but I was going broke, I had to try this!"
