I understand the rules very well..... FIDE rules, USCF rules, and the rules used on this site.
You clearly dont

Ironically enough, I have not come across such scenarios even once before - I have only seen wins where a checkmate is possible with the worst possible play.
So the edge cases you make as a fault have never come up for you in 6 years.
It is well known how chess.com decide insufficient material. You just need to look at their rules.
To make a point about it being some kind of fault is itself pointless.
If you do not like the rule....leave.
You have been on this site for a long 12 years. You didn't leave this site at all, so...
You ought to know that it's not easy for this site to be getting rid of me that easily.

It's best to ignore Lagomorph's comments. The other commenters on this thread (you included) have brought up constructive discussions to this thread.

Dude why are you asking just read previous answers.
Thats more basic: If you dont have enough material to force checkmate against a lone king, its a draw

do you know how works two knights when other side has a pawn somewhere?
I think that this site declares a king and two knights against king and single pawn a draw if the side having the pawn flags - even if mate can be forced because of the presence of that pawn.
According to the article, two knights is a win on timeout if the other side has more than the king on the board. Not sure when that was updated.

The Laws of Chess say:
"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."

These are only approximately implemented on this site.
Best is to play with increment to avoid flagging:
you can always win a won position or draw a drawn position.

No, this site does not even use USCF rules correctly.
But black could mate it need extremely bad coordination and amazing persuasion from white but it’s possible
I was talking to @Lagomorph
