Ironwood is not as much as responsible of Penny's fate as Emerald is since Emerald made Pyrrha destroy her with the clear intention to kill her and to cause Grimm to attack Beacon and to plants seeds of mistrust between the kingdoms, plus it's far from sure that Penny can be brought back as she's not an ordinary robot and even if she that wouldn't mean that the protagonists are going to forget and forgive easely what Emerald did to her, plus by having her killed Emerald also caused Beacon's destruction and a lot of innocents to die and by causing the fall of Beacon she also indirectly led to Pyrrha's death at the hands of Cinder. And that's not counting the fact that she feigned to befriend Team RWBY only to betray their trust and that she was one of those who tried to kill the protagonists at Haven so they should have a lot of reasons to hate her and to not forgive her easely for all the things she has done to them.
