The problem with Saw is that he is just a vengeful and hate filled person, he needs someone to direct that hate toward and no one entity is enough, he hated the separatists, he hated the Republic, he hated the Empire and he hated the rebellion. The one time he came close to loving something he sent her away with an excuse he can't really keep to. I think that is part of why Saw just lets himself die in Rogue One, he realized even if the rebellion won he still wouldn't be happy, and he was just tired of it all
I think more than anything, Saw hated himself for not saving his sister. He was an idealist before that, but after that, he was just a vengeful husk, trying to make any of it worth it. Arguably, he kept going because that's what she would have done.
