Yeah, being 'apolitical' is still a political ideology. And it's a bad one because of its inherent apathy. It's responding to the corruption and injustice at the highest levels of government by ignoring it. And when they're an eligible voter in a democracy, being 'apolitical' is consent and support for the actions of the incumbents.
But you also have to distinguish that from people who don't have the spoons to talk about politics at any given time. Making people too emotionally and/or physically tired to address the systemic issues is a core part of the system. That isn't on the individual.
