The point, as I see it, is that you're angry that your Ship didn't become Canon. Plain and simple.

Look, it was obvious from early on in the series that Touka was intended to be the Love Interest. It was unlikely from the get-go that a Seinen work would feature a same-sex pairing as the main couple, as much as I know plenty of people would love to see that sort of thing. Japan still very much keeps same-sex couples to side-couples in a story or Genre works.

Hide was never going to be Kaneki's lover in canon. He was always the best friend, and it was expected that Kaneki would eventually end up with someone else romantically. It was very clear it would be Touka, based on both the general themes of the storytelling and them featuring together in official artwork.

You can like it or hate it, but it's unrealistic to throw a tantrum over how Hide deserved to be Kaneki's one true love. It simply was not going to happen in the actual series.

In terms of Hide "being alone", we actually did not see much of his personal life. Other than being told that he was a social butterfly, we didn't really see much of his side of things. So we don't know whether he's had romances, or other friendships, or what else he has had going on in his life besides KANEKI.

We will have to see what happens. There's a lot of hints that things concerning Hide will finally be resolved, so let's just see.
