Can you surprise? That's Riordanverse Apollo and in the Riordanverse, characters's faults and mistakes needs to glossed over or dismissed somehow. Plus, we can not get to see Apollo that level of jerk-- that would break Apollo's 'sympathetic' characterization (blah.)

It's a so much lost potential- why is it that Apollo's actions needs to be glossed over every time, like about the Marsyas situation? When those things can be used in Apollo's character arc and development? If Riordan did manage to handle those things; Like Apollo could've said that he was being ruthless and cruel, and admitted he has faults then trying to fix this.

But no...we can not get that.
