One thing I will not hold against any of these girls is their choice to be a magical girl. All of them were coldly manipulated by a machiavellian master manipulator named Kyubey.

That being said, Sayaka's final words are rather poignant and emotionally tinged. They do help to make for a very powerful and unforgettable scene. One that makes me care a lot about Sayaka, and feel anger towards Kyubey.
I didn't really take that scene to be anything about QB directly. She just realized she made all the wrong choices for all the wrong reasons.
