Bro that's the definition, it's not "spot on" it's literally the main purpose of the phrase, your opinion is not unpopular

Opinion is not at all unpopular, it's an apology that is just petty and pisses off anyone who hears it,

I'd beg to differ. I honestly think people say it thinking it is a type of apology where they dont concede to have done/said something wrong. They think its "I'm apologizing without admitting to any fault".

Depending on the situation though, that can be an appropriate thing to want to convey. For example, if someone's upset because they asked me for a favor and I'm not able to do it. I'm not admitting wrongdoing because I didn't do anything wrong, but if it's someone I like then I am sorry they're feeling upset. It doesn't have to be said in a condescending non-genuine tone.

Not an unpopular opinion, I'd estimate. It's on par with "apologies" that are essentially people saying, "I'm sorry I got caught."

"I'm sorry you feel that way" is "i acknowledge and hear your feelings, but my actions (whatever requires apologizing for) were my own and for me. Your feelings about them is not my concern. I don't act to appease everyone"

I definitely think thats what people think is conveyed for sure, otherwise people wouldnt say it.

It's not an apology, it's pity on you for having that opinion

My ex would always say that to me when I was upset one day I caught her cheated, same phrase was said outta her mouth when I told her that her action was a betrayal of my trust in her. Long story short it's not meant to be a apology

I think it has its place, especially in misunderstandings. But I also think too often, people excuse their repeated disrespectful behavior as misunderstandings, and therefore it does get used in inappropriate contexts more than it should. We could all take each time we say "I'm sorry I made you feel that way" as a signal for a reality check.
