The same reason people generally don't regret having kids even though the commitment and overall change of your life are much greater than what you described for dogs.

Expressing regret about having kids is, in addition, a strong social taboo.
You're comparing actual humans to a pet?
What are you asking? Nchagnet is just acknowledging the existence of people who regret having kids, not making a value comparison
Are you a bot? (genuine question)

They're definitely saying people don't regret having kids even though it's harder, meaning it's relevant/comparable to having a pet. But it's not, since your child isn't an animal you've chosen to have.
