Strongly agree. What are often called apologies are not. They are often non-apologies that essentially blame the wronged party.

"I am sorry if you misunderstood me" and the like. You see, it was really your fault not mine.

An actual apology is explicit in accepting responsibility for harm done by the apologizer, and regret for having caused that harm. It should also contain some recognition of the need for improvement, that is, how the apologizer will behave in the future.
