Am I right?
Does this also apply when playing against much better players?
Is it bad sportsmanship to keep playing when you have NO chance of winning?

There is no obligation whatsoever to resign. Letting the clock run simply to annoy the opponent is very disrespectful.
But it is fine to continue the game, as long as you are making your moves quickly. Especially for beginners it is advisable to play until mate. A an experienced player you resign, when a continuation of the game is a waste of time: no hope to flag or trick the opponent.

Chess is a waste of time to begin with. I cannot fathom why some people can play 10mins+ of chess. Chess is so easy. All you have to do is checkmate the other king and since it's a game of PERFECT information, everything is known... Since it's probably a draw for two great players anyway, why not just agree to a draw and then go watch TV or something?
Try beating a 3000 rated player. Is it easy?
The reason why people resign is because chess doesn’t have a referee like boxing.

No you are not right
