What ever happened to people taking responsibility for their actions?

Like, if you say or do something shitty, why is it so rare that people own up and apologize?

Why is it cool to "dig in" now on obviously ridiculous shit?
I grew up in an uneducated, lower-middle class family. If you messed up, someone told you, you apologized, you rectified whatever was wrong, and you moved forward and forgot it. And did right from then on.

As I hung around more educated people in my life, this has gone backwards
Like, people increasingly can't talk about stuff that goes wrong, because ego.

How does this even make sense?
I mean. We're all learning. You can be an old professor and you still have shit tons to learn. We all know this.

I know a bunch of extremely imperfect and famous industrial and academic people, and all of these people have ways to save face and keep learning.
