There's also the illusion of an apology - which in itself is supposed to signal regret. "I didn't mean to inconvenience you" doesn't mean anything when you bring a friend knowing it will cause an issue.
Not only did you deprive your social group from choice in the matter but on top of it you created a new choice for them; do they get to be assholes ("sorry, she can't sit with us") or face a consequence that wouldn't otherwise exist ("I guess I'll go sit by myself").

I prefer the "fuck you" response.

Fuck you, Becky, for inviting someone we don't know to this shindig, as if it was all about you.
-
Fuck you, Becky, for asking me to move to a shitty seat just because you want your wasn't-invited friend to have a better seat.
-
Fuck you, Becky, why don't you move your ass to a shit-ass seat to sit with the friend that you inconvenienced the rest of us for?
Yes, I would be the person asking the following questions:
-
Right from the start: "why did you let your friend tag along without asking or telling us first, Becky?"
-
Then: "why didn't you tell your friend that you were going out with other friends, Becky?
-
And then: "why don't you fucking grow a spine and a sense of decorum, Becky, so you could tell your friend that you're hanging out with others and there's no room here for her unless he/she/it gets her own fucking chair?"
This has happened to me before, and when asked to move, I simply said: "I'm comfortable here, so no." And when the "friend" gave me this vapid stare, I responded with: "I was here first, Becky; why don't you move?"
I don't talk to Becky much any more, but she was a fucking bitch anyway, and no one else had a heart ashen enough to tell a rude-as-shit egomaniac to go fuck herself.
Because Becky wasn't sorry to inconvenience us. Get the fuck out of my face with that "I'm sorry to ask, but -- " shit. If you're sorry to ask, then don't fucking ask.
Life's too short to be sorry for anything.

I 'realized' it but was a teenager in the '90s with a lot of internalized bullshit and didn't really have the context to even consider what that must've been like. I do now and it's awful. Her perspective is really smart and helpful in re-contextualizing that and that was a great interview. I also found its ambivalent take on the issue of societal shaming interesting, as that's an attitude I kinda share.

@Three-Eyed-Crow I was a teenager as well, I might have heard her age at the time, but it never really registered, I mean, when yer a teen 22 is ANCIENT. Now I look back at me when I was 22 and... yeah. Cringe.B
