Will it make things worse?
The argument seems to be "why bother, it doesn't mean anything?", so can't that go both ways? You know, "why not bother if it doesn't mean anything".
Maybe an apology does matter to some people?
Look at it this way -- if some fossilized virgin in Europe back in the day decreed that your grandparents should be taken from their homes and sent to an institution run by sadists, religious loons and pedophiles, would you brush it off as "it was a long time ago"?
I wouldn't.
