Well, first and foremost, I don't think people are arguing that he doesn't deserve it. The majority of what I have seen from fans has been sympathy or pity, seeing how utterly screwed over the poor guy has been by life. His story is horribly tragic.

But his particular circumstances and situation are such that there really isn't much hope for him. The primary difference between him and everyone else is that Takizawa's mind is utterly broken. He's so out of touch with reality, that he doesn't understand the weight of his own actions. And because of what he is, and what he's done.....he really has no where to go. There's no support structure waiting for him, that could help him try to rebuild his mind.

He burned all his bridges, but is too broken to realize it. He clung to a delusional fantasy of being welcomed back, when the reality is there isn't anywhere for him. Akira and Houji cannot protect him from the larger organization, which would order his termination (or experimentation). He's done with Aogiri, which is being destroyed now. He seems to hate Kaneki, so probably wouldn't be willing to ally with him. His only choice would be to flee and live as a ghoul, out there still being a threat.

He's a bit like Juuzou used to be, but without any hope of recovery. There's no one that can advocate and fight for him, and even Juuzou as a human barely had a chance. Since he's no longer human, his mere existence is against him. The people that care about him can't save him, and they know it.

So, again, it isn't about him not being redeemable or not deserving it. It's about the cruelty of the world the series takes place in, where someone like him has no hope of being treated like a victim.
