((Whoa, here's a spoiler probably.))

I can totally see where you're coming from, but Amon isn't some crazed fanatic, he's a sensible human being that's there to defend those too weak to do it for themselves.

It's still shitty that he played a hand in orphaning Hinami (which is why i didn't like him too much), but he didn't do it in a hateful 'because i can' way. One, his mentor (see also: probably the only noble male figure in his life that hasn't disappointed him) conditioned him to hate ghouls. Two, ghouls have literally ruined every aspect of his life (they killed his Mado, they killed his collegues, they've killed his childhood friends, and *i'm assuming* they killed his family), which re-inforced Mado's ideas. With no one to challenge those ideas, save for Kaneki but he went a little batshit, there was really no other logical choice but to accept what CCG has been telling him his whole life: ghouls are evil and only living to hurt and bring people pain. He's not the CCG member that's 'welp, i'm a human and they eat humans so i gotta defend humans and kill them human-eaters off so i, a human, can't gobble them up'; it's more like 'if i don't give it my all to kill them, they'll ruin other people's lives like they've ruined mine, and no one deserves to go through what i've gone through' type of deal.

To make this long story short: I don't think him being a ghoul and confronting those he's hurt would 'make him see the error of his ways' so much as 'make him cry and feel constantly conflicted'. He'd basically become another Kaneki.
