Answer 2

That has happened to me also, and I too was surprised.

I agree with you that it seems more natural, that when

the opponent's time runs out, the game should be over.

Here's my explanation:

Chess Games are set-up with an Initial Time limit and an Increment.

The optional Increment is a few seconds allowed for each move.

If you ever experience that the clock runs out for your opponent in chess,

clock stops, but the game dosn't stop; it is because

the opponent is using their increment time of a few seconds per move.

If the time limit expires, and increment also expires, then the game is over.

The games does end eventually if time runs out.
