When I first started playing for real money back in '07  I would apologize from time to time.  As I would feel bad to be the donk to suck out on the 'pro'

Then I started thinking about it a little more... it's the donks that the pros want at their table.  Because those are the most profitable, and when a donk sucks out, it reinforces his bad habits, which is exactly what a pro wants.  So I thought, I'm gicing him what he wants, why apologize?

As I became more proficient I started to realize that I'm going to get sucked out on.  It's going to happen.  There's nothing that can be done.  Conversely, I will continue to suck out on other people.  It's a part of the game.  So why apologize for part of the game.

Yes I can agree a little consolation is nice from time to time, but I've made nice money after sucking out on someone and then them going on tilt because of it.  Tilting hard against me.  They were going to 'get their money back!'  So I'd tighten up, play ABC, maybe even slow play a little, and boom, they give me everything they have.

So, long answer short.  I used to apologize.  I don't anymore.
