I’ve always thought of it as being the opposite. I only ever use ‘I apologize’ or ‘my apologies’ when I’m sorry about something I did, when it’s my fault. I use them because it feels more sincere to me, and more effectively communicates my intention.
Eh, it might be a regional thing, but I agree with OP. 'I apologize' feels kinda snarky. But then again, as a Canadian, saying sorry is kinda one of our national pastimes.
