Winning on time, the new meta in chess.

I can't stand the I'm down 18 points, but if I just move left to right here I can win on a couple seconds in this game I clearly lost. It screams I'm pathetic its not chess, its toxic and seems to be the new win strategy here. I can understand this in bullet, blitz, but now its also in the rapid pool, in my opinion its the scum bags gambit and should be labeled as such.

At the very least the amount of points for this type of (win) should be limited to 3 points maximum.

I don't find it toxic, especially at lower levels. Chess is as much about using time wisely as it is strategy.

Both players can see how much time they have left, it’s not like it’s a surprise when you time out

Your not wrong, I agree, but its the premise of a thing, I get win by all means argument, but theres a fine line with winning by a second or too while, not playing a beautiful game, or tactics or idea, and then forces me to also just move in a random direction really fast, then is it even chess or internet connection speed?
