"I'm sorry" can mean:
"I apologize"
"Excuse me"
"That's too bad"
or even
"It's not my fault/ I'm not sorry" ("Sorry, but...")
It really depends on context.

When I got in a car accident years ago, the insurance spokesperson asked me if anyone apologized or said sorry at the scene because they might use that to imply guilt. Or something along those lines. I remember thinking it was really strange.

Agreed , all of the above.
Or, if someone is passive aggressive like my mil, sorry Is a preface for informing someone that she has done / will do something that will hurt them
‘I couldn’t care less how you feel about this, however ….’

I'm sorry for (insert action) is accepting guilt.
I'm sorry that (insert experience) is empathy.

It can mean different things in different contexts.
