I don’t think people rejecting Bostrom’s apology are rejecting it on the basis that public figures can’t repent. We just don’t think it was a functional apology.
Yes I believe that would be covered in my 4th point—“what else should have been included in Bostrom’s apology”. I suppose it could be rephrased: “what else should have been included/excluded in Bostrom’s apology”, and one could argue he should exclude the latter paragraphs from his apology.
