This comes across as rather belittling to me - akin to calling someone a "snowflake" for not acquiescing to someone else's version of reality. It is possible to find the theme of the ad to objectionable in a way that transcends the personal: for example, out of concern for the possible consequences of coarsening commercial speech, or of promoting the devaluation of human creativity. I really don't think that many of the critics were demanding a personal apology.
