Why do you have to use apricot glaze on a fruitcake because I forgot to do it?

You do it for no other reason than to help make a covering layer or decoration adhere - In a Xmas cake this might be marzipan followed by Royal icing.
If you're putting blanched almonds or other fruit and nuts on the cake the apricot glaze helps them adhere and then more is brushed over the topping to give it a golden veneer.
It willmake no real difference to your cake if you forgot the apricot glaze. Many people pick off the marzipan and icing anyway.

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Washes should be applied with a brush. An egg white wash will make it shiny. An egg wash with the yolk left in while make it golden and shiny. For scones or tea biscuits (American usage) milk or cream may be used simply to make it brown. To glaze a fruit tart I've found the best glaze to be apricot preserves over the fruit, which sits on a pastry cream on top of a pastry crust. This would not be baked.
