Why do you personally resign?

I get so many resignations. 165. I'm such a bad player that you'd likely win anyway. I'm just curious why so many ppl just give up. Do you just not want to waste more time? But, doesn't it still affect your rating the same as losing?

I've had 1686 games where a checkmate was involved, but I only had a checkmate in 89 of them. I guess just never assume that you'll lose just bc you lost your queen. That's when most of my opponents resign.

Because I can't have someone else resign for me
