Touka's just grown up. There's really nothing complicated to her actions. She spent most of her life being an overly emotional girl and after that got her and her friends in trouble, she grew up into a composed woman. I get not liking the direction of character development from a personal level, but logically, it makes perfect sense. :re took place two years after the last series ended and she worked hard to be a proper adult with Yomo's help. He even talked to her about leaving the her behind that threw tantrums so that she can grow up. We were directly told before the first series even ended that Touka wouldn't be a hot-headed girl forever.

There's also an old saying: if you truly love something, set it free. Touka let go of Kaneki because she cares about him and whenever they interact, he seems to be leading a happy and fulfilled life without her. Last time she spoke to him, she said something awful, that he wasn't needed and that he shouldn't come back, then he never did. It's not her place to drag Kaneki back into her life just because she "really wants to be with him" when she said something hurtful and as far as she knows, he may not even want to see her. Home is a place you want to be, not a place that others drag you into. Kaneki found a home in the human world as Sasaki and she knows how precious that is. She does miss him and want to speak with him again, she confirmed as much to Nishiki, she's simply grown up enough to know when to let go.
