Default Apache configuration from docs won't work on my web server

Well, I hate to say this.

But the default apache configuration won't work on my end.

Here's the specific error I get:

apachectl[593]: AH00526: Syntax error on line 13 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/glpi.conf
apachectl[593]: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
apachectl[590]: apachectl[590]: Action 'graceful' failed.
apachectl[590]: The Apache error log may have more information.

The error log has nothing, by the way.

Here's the default config - mine's the same save for the ServerName. Yes, it's enabled.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName glpi.localhost

    DocumentRoot /var/www/glpi/public

    # If you want to place GLPI in a subfolder of your site (e.g. your virtual host is serving multiple applications),
    # you can use an Alias directive:
    # Alias "/glpi" "/var/www/glpi/public"

    <Directory /var/www/glpi/public>
        Require all granted

        RewriteEngine On

        # Redirect all requests to GLPI router, unless file exists.
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I extracted the latest glpi tar into /var/www. Group "www-data" has access to /var/www/glpi and it's subdirectories.

I've installed all kind of php modules and even some I didn't need - here's the enabled ones:

$:/var/www# ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
access_compat.load  authn_core.load  authz_user.load  deflate.load  filter.load       mpm_prefork.load  php8.2.load      setenvif.load
alias.conf          authn_file.load  autoindex.conf   dir.conf      mime.conf         negotiation.conf  reqtimeout.conf  status.conf
alias.load          authz_core.load  autoindex.load   dir.load      mime.load         negotiation.load  reqtimeout.load  status.load
auth_basic.load     authz_host.load  deflate.conf     env.load      mpm_prefork.conf  php8.2.conf       setenvif.conf

So, I'm sure I could make my instance "work" by removing the rewrites, but I guess they're here for a reason.
So what's my problem?

Your Apache installation is missing the rewrite module (or it is not enabled, which is the most likely case).
