Because of stubborn denial. Its fine to have wanted her to live, but there is little to no basis as to why she'd be alive. Hide's more likely to be alive. Its simply more plausible that she's dead.

She explains this to Kaneki. They were meant to die for the rise of the One Eyed King. She didn't exactly intend to die like that in that moment, but her death was planned and she seemed to suffice with explaining to Kaneki her intentions when him and Zero Squad found him.

It just seems like until its concretely set, you guys will refuse to believe it out of sheer desire.
