In fact, he's quite careful not to. Atem is hyperaware of where it is; he won't let it come into contact with him directly.
He doesn't say that, yes, he expected the gem to go wrong on him -- like Riley's necklace went wrong on her. It's what happens when a monster picks up the wrong item.
He also doesn't say that taking control over it and utilizing it as a tool against Elias is probably the best thing Ryou could have done with the situation.
And, finally...
...he doesn't say that what Ryou is doing is hurting himself in order to hurt others. Or remind him that if it happens around the 14th, then it will likely affect all monsters, the way events do. Ryou knows. He must know. And, if he doesn't...then, Atem reminding him will make him feel stupid. Bringing it up is a no-win.]
And...
...when it's over...
...what will you want from me?
Are you going to open yourself up to retaliation?
[Since that's such a popular choice among monsters who do things like this.]
