Secondly, based on their last encounter on Mustafar, Anakin was obviously too far gone to the Dark side as he had just gone on a killing rampage in the Jedi temple. Obi-Wan thought that he's far beyond redemption; in hindsight, not really understanding what drove Anakin to the Sith didn't help the situation.
Obi-Wan spared Anakin despite knowing killing him would "burn his heart to ash" and feeling regret for what Anakin could have become. Obi-Wan's decision to spare Anakin was influenced by the dark feeling that accompanied Emperor Palpatine's arrival, preventing him from finishing him off.
Obi-Wan didn't believe in Anakin the way Qui-Gon did, and the Jedi Council made it clear that they didn't trust Anakin. That only left Palpatine, who pretended to always be on Anakin's side in order to groom him as his future Sith Apprentice.
After his redemption, after bringing back balance to the force, after the return of the Jedi, Anakin would have definitely held a bit of remorse, not to forget, it was Obi-wan who taught Anakin how to become a force ghost, to stray oneself from the cosmic force and assume identity with the living force.
GEORGE LUCAS SAYS OBI-WAN WAS TO SAVE ANAKIN ON MUSTAFAR
Did Anakin apologize to Obi-Wan?
Yes, when Darth Vader turned back to Anakin Skywalker and sacrifice himself to save his son, he dies and Obi-Wan uses the force to connect with Anakin's spirit. In that time Anakin apologizes to Obi-Wan, desperately asking him to forgive him for everything he has done to him and everybody over the years.
He couldn't bring himself to kill Darth Vader, however, because he continues to associate him with the Anakin he trained as a boy. This is also the exact reason why Obi-Wan didn't kill Anakin on Mustafar despite the opportunity a decade earlier in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.
If we go by the need to rationalize what we saw, Obi Wan either felt Anakin deserved to die in pain over however long it would take, or didn't really want to kill him. The obvious reason is that Anakin needed to survive in order to become Darth Vader.
Though Obi-Wan was often an important ally for Anakin, the young Jedi could never see past his envy, even going far enough to allow himself to believe that his master was having an affair with his wife. In the end, Anakin's own jealousy was his undoing and the reason that he would never surpass his master.
It was the first time he had seen Anakin's face since leaving him to burn on Mustafar, and so he apologized for everything that had happened. But in response to Obi-Wan's line about failing Anakin in Revenge of the Sith, Vader says, "I am not your failure, Obi-Wan. You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker.
🎬 [ANH] Why did Obi-Wan age so fast on Tatooine? Well, because it's TATOOINE, it is a desert planet with 2 suns so people age faster there. Which is why Obi-Wan looks like he's in his 60s in ANH when he's only 57. It would also explain why Luke looks like he's 25 in ANH when he's only 19 and Leia actually looks 19.
Darth Vader: I am not your failure, Obi-Wan. You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker. I did. ————————————————— Even in the depths of his hatred, Anakin gives his old mentor one last mercy, absolving him of his guilt.
What did Darth Vader mean when he said he killed Anakin?
He meant that he "killed" that part of him. Anakin as in the jedi, the compassionate, good person he was is nowhere to be found after he turned to the dark side.
And all the way up until the third sister told him otherwise, Obi-Wan truly and completely believed that Anakin was dead. He believed that he died on the banks of Mustafar. And even if they knew for a fact the Anakin had survived, it comes back to the split personality.

The canonical comic Star Wars: Darth Vader #7 confirms the younglings' deaths caused Anakin grief, self-loathing, hatred, and pain, fueling his descent even further into the Dark Side.
