Actions have consequences and regretting them does not change the fact that the decisions she made had bad ramifications for everybody and it has to be considered. Her regret makes no difference since the two Investigators were dead because of her choices and refusal to listen. Yoshimura tried to warn her when she suggested getting revenge for the death of Hinami's parents the same way she warned Kaneki before the raid and the difference is she ignored his advice until it was too late. She caused the action that lead to the increased CCG presence and the destruction of Anteiku. Ironically her decision to kill the Investigators was a return to the destructive path since Hinami never asked for her to exact revenge it was just to satisfy her own hatred. It lead to disaster for many people and being apologetic is trivial considering the damage caused.

She lost everything because of a foolish selfish decision she made but has never been held responsible for the offenses she caused. Yoshimura forgave her and Ayato covered for her by taking the blame for her crimes. She was protected twice but eventually that is going to come to an end since the narrative implies somebody will deduce the truth.

Most people in Tokyo Ghoul have tragic backstories but that does not change the prospect that in this series people have to contend with the outcome of their choices no matter how long it takes.
