For years, Vader hated Obi-Wan, having been struck down by his mentor and left for dead while also believing the Jedi had worked to turn his true love Padmé against him. However, there's another, far darker reason Vader hated Obi-Wan so obsessively.
Darth Vader hates Obi-Wan, not because he blames him for his fall to the Dark Side, but because he turned Padmé against him and destroyed his body. The line from Obi-Wan Kenobi, "I am what you made me" isn't a reference to Vader's fall to the dark side.
from a certain point of view, we surprisingly. learn how Vader felt upon striking down Kenobi. from Yoda, rather than feeling relief. or vindication at finally destroying his old master, Vader, or rather Anakin, was instead. overwhelmed with utter loneliness and sorrow, having killed one of his last.
Obi-Wan knew that even if he defeated Darth Vader, he could never have fled the Death Star, so he accepted his fate and let Vader's lightsaber strike him down.

Why would Obi-Wan let Vader live?
This could be interpreted as Obi-Wan showing either pity or mercy for his old friend. Despite everything they have been through, the Obi-Wan Kenobi show has firmly established that the Jedi still deeply cares for his former Padawan and remembers him as the great ally he's had for many years.
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.
For years, Vader hated Obi-Wan, having been struck down by his mentor and left for dead while also believing the Jedi had worked to turn his true love Padmé against him.
A year later, with his health rapidly declining, Yoda died of old age and became one with the Force in 4 ABY, shortly before Luke redeemed his father Anakin, who fulfilled his destiny as the Chosen One by killing Sidious.
While Vader had his weaknesses, including vulnerability to electricity, characters like Emperor Palpatine, Mace Windu, Yoda, and Obi-Wan Kenobi all had the potential to defeat him in battle.
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.
David Porter provides some great philosophical context to why Obi-Wan would not regret leaving Anakin alive, as it was obviously “the will of the Force” that Obi-Wan be unable to finish him off, and “the will of the Force” that Anakin live on to kill Sidious himself in the future.
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.
This fell in line with various fan theories and non-canon novelizations that suggested Obi-Wan and Padmé had an affair sometime during the Clone Wars. In the Star Wars prequel movies, Obi-Wan often has a duty to protect Padmé, but there was never any sense of romantic feelings.
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.
During the Imperial Era, a human female nurse served the Galactic Empire on board the Death Star under the supervision of a doctor. They both served the Sith Lord Darth Vader as his personal medical caretakers. The nurse became obsessed and psychotically in love with the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Darth Vader awakens, and his first question is about the whereabouts of Padmé. Palpatine tells Darth Vader that in his anger he killed her, placing the blame for Padmé's death on Vader. Vader denies it, saying he sensed Padmé was still alive, which the audience knows she was as Obi-Wan escaped on the ship with her.
Like Obi-Wan, the comic is set between Episodes III and IV, and thus explores a rawer Vader, one who still hasn't let go of his old life and is adjusting to his role as the Empire's iron fist. In the Obi-Wan finale, Vader declares, “I [killed Anakin Skywalker].” Dark Lord of the Sith is the story of how he did so.
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.
Kenobi bested Anakin, severing his limbs, and leaving him to die, burning on the shores of a lava river. Darth Sidious recovered Anakin's broken body and returned with him to Coruscant. Medical droids rebuilt Anakin with cybernetic parts, encasing him in dark armor to complete his transformation into Darth Vader.
The base assumption of why Obi-Wan doesn't remember R2-D2 -- in light of the prequels -- is that Obi-Wan is feigning ignorance in A New Hope to downplay the importance of the droid's arrival.
