I'm not talking about the loss of a loved one. I understand that.

It is called conditioning, and it is a common Sheeple tactic, it is like Baaaaa, Baaaaa to the wolf.
.
It is from social censorship called political correctness, and the mentality of oh, gee , please don't sue me, I wasn't even thinking of being involved with what ever bothers you.
.
It bugs me too, I am a sort of sheepdog, and I wish more people would stand on their own two hind legs and say, "thats tough that you don't like it, please move on", yes it would be great if more people would stand up for them selves.......

Because they are helpless and they don't know what else to say. Maybe they just don't want to offend people, so they tend to apologise, whether or not they can have a control over the current situation.

There is a difference between "I am sorry I did that to you" and "I am sorry you are hurting". Some people apologize because they feel bad that someone was hurt and some people just over apologize and it has to do with their upbringing.

It could be chalked up to a reflex of the heart or the mind, or the way they were brought up. I do that on occasion, but I'm learning that it's okay not to in many cases :)

It is more an expression of condolance & sympathy than it
is an actual apology in many cases...

out of empathy for the person who feels wronged.

I think the apology means "please don't get upset with me about this, if I could change it I would"
