Why here's not draw?

<Comment deleted by user>

Laws of Chess:
'6.9 Except where one of Articles 5.1.1, 5.1.2, 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.2.3 applies, if a player does not complete the prescribed number of moves in the allotted time, the game is lost by that player. However, the game is drawn if the position is such that the opponent cannot checkmate the player’s king by any possible series of legal moves.'
Here a series of legal moves exists that leads to checkmate.
So you duly lost on time.
If you dislike that, then play with increment.

"its stupid"

  • That does not matter, when time is up you have no time left to demonstrate a smart defense.
