To apologize means recognizing that it did happen and that corporations that are still in existence profitted from it. So in a way it does affect people who were never enslaved or owned slaves.
The enslavement of Africans in the United States was/is a human rights issue that has never been fully addressed in the ways other crimes have. We continue to skirt around the issue because we are "so far removed" from it. Ignoring the fact this particular form of enslavement continues to affect American society.
