"Everyone" here seems to be a vocal minority, many of whom completely miss what the series is usually about (comedy) due to the content of those arcs and then whine about the rest of the series not being more like it. Regret seems like an appropriate reaction here.
That being said, I don't think Hata himself has actually said how he feels about that arc. Has he?

Of course he hasn't said anything to that effect.
However, I'll add one small bit of perspective. Hata actually first started using twitter and interacting with his fans "raw" right around the time the Mykonos Arc was ending, and he was feeling pretty blindsided by all the rage he started getting instantly by Athena fans thinking he was writing her out of the story.
So while he hasn't said anything like that directly, I would not be surprised if he just never wanted to set up that kind of backlash again where Athena is concerned.
