Of course it's a subjective thing which characters you care the most about. It's not like the :re members are the only ones I care about either. I do care more about Eto and Furuta than about Ayato and Banjou for example.

But that's still not my point. The :re crew isn't just important because they are popular. They are important because of the way Ishida uses them. As a connection to the original series, as Kaneki's mental support and as appealing figures. Maybe that's not what they are for you, but that's what their roles are and that's what they are meant for. They are appearing that often because they are relevant for Ishida, the fans and the plot.

They don't affect the plot directly by their actions that much. What they are mostly doing is affecting Kaneki. The reason why Kaneki was able to defeat Jason and fight Aogiri was because he didn't want his friends (Anteiku) to be killed. That's why he left Anteiku and created the Anti-Aogiri group and that's why he fought at the Anteiku-raid. It's the same in :re. His thoughts about the people at :re are the reason why he couldn't just live as Haise Sasaki. And his feelings for them are the reason why he doesn't just die against Arima right now.

That's why they are that relevant, even if you personally don't like them
