If saving time is your primary objective for expecting others to resign then not playing chess at all saves you way more time 
I often resign myself to not waste my own time, but that's personal choice, not expectation on others!
People who DO NOT RESIGN in a lost position.

I often don’t resign when loosing. Several reasons:
1. At my level I can learn more especially when reviewing the game
2. I can try to get a stalemate
3. Also at my level BIG mistakes are oftentimes made
4. Very few (at my level) understand how to play the end game

I prefer to checkmate my opponent than to win by resignation. I hate it when my opponent resigns!
Why resign when your opponent might blunder?

I'm amused when I win a piece in a 1 minute game and the opponent resigns. Don't they know how slow I am?
Im the person who never resigned. It does give me alot of draw and sometime win around my level (950-1100).

I don’t love it when people resign, but I can sometimes see the reasoning behind it. Mostly I think of it as they want to play more chess so they resign to not lose more time doing what they love, or they need to leave and don’t want to waste your time by having you win by abandonment.
People who don’t resign, I can also see the appeal, many times I have one because my opponent has their queen while I don’t, and got careless and let their other pieces become vulnerable.

This issue also was being discussed elsewhere. Well, as long as there is no stalling going on, it is fair game to continue playing out a match. I will also resign bullet matches when both my position and the opponent's playing speed make a draw or even win seem impossible.

That’s the position of my current daily game, lol. For the past 5 moves or so my opponent had a completely lost position of a king vs a rook and 4 pawns. It’s a daily game, hardly many people in >1000 rating blunders there. So I decided to finish it slowly, lol. Will promote another queen and might try to mate with my A pawn or promote it as well 
))
))it’s 5 days per move and my opponent takes his time and even vacation, so might takes forever.
Btw, he offered me a draw when had 1 or 2 pawns left )
I have never resigned in 26 thousand games, I used to be good at getting stalemates and some of my best wins have came from being in impossible positions with absolute no hope but miraculously I checkmate with pawns and a king

Yeah but you play bullet
In my opinion if your opponent is up a piece, you should resign and give him the respect and show sportsmanship

Why can't u just tire ur opponent so the person he plays next will have an easier time.
I'm 2200 lichess and boy do they suck at converting winning positions, I save half of my losing positions. I wonder why...
Mabye I should start resigning...
