I don't think it si quite that shallow. I think it is basically an admission of guilt or wrong doing. It does have significance.
I think people forget that there is not much you can do to un-say something on live TV and Gary could do no more than offer an apology at that time.
I think you are also conveniently forgetting that Tulisa started off the personal insults by having a go at a singer that has never been in the bottom 2 and claiming he was murdering songs every week and then trying to shift the blame on to Gary for it. She had no reason for the strength of her criticism and Gary simply closed her down in an extremely effective way and killed the whole angle she was pursuing.
