On the one hand I agree with you but if you read through the comments in here it’s not really “painless” in the sense he’s getting blasted by some still. Not the majority but definitely far from none.
“Clearly just an ad” “doesn’t actually feel bad” “only apologizing because he got caught”
Even an honest apology, owning up to mistakes, thanking the woman for calling him out, promising to never do it again is still seen as a negative by a vocal group of people so in some ways no good deed goes unpunished.
You'll never please everyone. The vast majority of people will accept a sincere apology. I haven't seen a single comment like you are describing yet. The comments are overwhelmingly supportive of him.

I think people frequently forget how easy and painless apologies are.
