Hmm but it depends on the time control also .For eg this game ,I was playing a 3/0 blitz game and I was having the queen but still lost cause of time pressure and more reasons but if this would be a rapid ,my opponent maybe would have resigned .https://www.chess.com/game/live/23623189555
why do people resign once they lose their queen???

You don't always need to resign when you lose your Queen. Sometimes you want to lose your Queen
After reading this thread I see that there are (from previous threads) a lot of people that will complain if players blunder their queen and then plays on in an obviously lost position and a lot of other people that will complain if players blunder their queen and resign in an obviously lost position.
Since the players making blunders can't please everyone they may as well please themselves. (copied from Ricky Nelson's song "Garden Party")

The annoying thing about players (by which I mean me) playing on after losing a queen is that they don't always lose. I am only referring to quick chess.

thats totally ok!! but not in 6 or 7 moves Ig
it depends.. what are they here for.. a bit of fun? serious games?
How long do they have to play... is this their only game for the session if they continue playing?
Personally if the game is a lost cause and I would like to get one more in instead of hopping around the board I will give the other person the win and move on with life...
however, it position matters.. a queen may not be that significant or it may have been everything.

When I was in high school (late 70's) I was in my school chess club. We were playing a tournament against another school and I blundered my Queen away early. Knowing that a drawn out game would lead to my position becoming weaker and weaker I immediately began a full out attack on his King while I still had all my other pieces. After my frenzied attack lead to my win my opponent appeared to be in shock. So yes you can win without your Queen!
amogus
they resign because they're in a LOST position, so why would they continue??? tired of these threads man

Many years ago a GM was congratulated on his brilliant Pawn sac for an attack. He responded by saying he had actually blundered the Pawn and then played aggressively to try to make up for it.

yes they shud, dont accept a draw. NEVER
of course am not gonna accept a draw.... but why do they just resign??
at higher levels it is because when you blunder, you almost always lose but at the ~1000 threshold, maybe they want to play more games?

Unless your last name is Tal, you probably should resign once you lose your queen.

I have won without a queen before but not very much. 
If you won many times then good for you!

usually +1 can be turned into a winning position. +2 is very comfortable endgame.
being up a minor piece is +3, play it wisely and win it.. ofc if you are not already in a mating net or your opponent sacrificed it to promote or something.
being up a rook is shooting lasers from your eyes
being up a queen without any payback.. you are in god mode. /IDDQD
this dude just resigned for nothing!
