Seriously; one should only say they take full responsibility if they also disclose what doing that entails. Otherwise just say you fucked up. Here and in many other cases it sounds like: “oh I’m so sorry. Anyway, …”

What if the misstep is inconsequential or even blunders into a good outcome? Must the company conjure up a punishment to complete the acceptance of responsibility?

There is obviously a range to magnitude and consequences. However let’s stay on topic, the action of feeding information to a spy while being the CEO of a top 3 most valuable company on earth, knowing this is a known risk smh.
