Black ran out of time so can't win. White doesn't have sufficient material to checkmate black given infinite time and the best outcome is a draw. Therefore, the game is a draw

No, black did. If white had run out of time black would have won.

Because black ran out of time and white cannot win in any way so it is a draw
