^It's not clear how Kaneki lost his memories but I reckon it was either psychogenic amnesia, head trauma, or both. I think it was more of a "happy side effect" imo.

Sasaki's position as a ghoul investigator is...complicated to say the least. On one side there are positives. He has surrogate parents, subordinates that (mostly) love him, awards and adulation, a job, a place to live, etc. On the other hand, the CCG is using him for his power and Sasaki seems to be aware of this but has little choice in the matter. The CCG knows that he's an incredibly powerful and dangerous ghoul and tentatively trust him. If Sasaki doesn't agree to work for them chances are they'd either lock him away or destroy him. It's something that he can never walk away from unless he wants to face the CCG's wrath, a choice with very little freedom.

Arima did take Kaneki away from people who care about him and the kicker is that it's something that Arima is kind of concerned about, he just doesn't know who they are. Sasaki claims that he doesn't care and that he's happy but it's a lie. Without his ghoul friends Sasaki is surrounded by people who don't understand him, distrust him, and even mock him.

Sasaki's life as a GI is more bitter-sweet than anything. A lot of good came out of it but a lot of negativity comes out of it as well.
