Why should they feel ashamed? What they do they're reaponsible for which has no bearing on feeling or not feeling shame.

Shame is an integral component of functional society. Without it we might all behave indiscriminately in each our own self interest with no regard for our fellow humans. It is a mechanism of encouraging compliance with societal standards. It is a natural response to evaluation of oneself relative to standards and is a motivator for improvement. It is one of the bonds by which society is forged. It's absence suggests apathy.
