Honestly, I think attempting to apply morality or arguments about decisions/consequences to things is kind of missing the point.

This isn't a person we are discussing and witnessing this chapter. It may have Kaneki at the center of it, but the thing rampaging through Tokyo and consuming people is not Kaneki. It is essentially a primal force of nature, behaving on instinct and doing what seems to be the natural result of the process. It is exactly as what happened in the past, which seems to be predictable enough that Furuta knew from the Washuu's history how to make it happen and how things would progress once unleashed.

Kaneki is just the battery at the center of the machine, and had no more control once it started. He's in a primal state as we saw that his mental statement and awareness went from a fractured one with multiple personas discussing to a single-minded focuses and finally to something purely instinctual.

There's no way Kaneki could have predicted this outcome, as previously when consuming a foe to survive he's only gotten stronger but never had something like this happen. At worst was the Centipede incident, which resulted in him coming back to his senses thanks to Banjou. He couldn't have known he would be turned into a Kaiju and unleashed on Tokyo in a mindless state.
