If you're even going to consider making an argument so incredibly retarded, then you might as well carry it over standard OTB games as well. The position is dead drawn, but I have 30 minutes on my clock and my opponent has 35; so we'll just play out 5000 moves until my flag falls and my opponent has five minutes left. What about stalemate? Does the play ...[text shortened]... on his clock win?
As to why I didn't just quit, it's a matter of principle, that's all.
Your opponent obviously wanted the win on time, so refused the draw offer. Knowing it was inevitable that they would win on time I would have walked away from the game and never played that opponent again.
