Oof, that must hurt. You left your opponent with no legal moves, but the king wasn’t in check, so it was a draw by stalemate.

But that happened because I left him without any more pieces left rather than the king, shouldn't it count as a Checkmate? It's so unfair to lose with that huge advantage!
It doesn't count as checkmate because it's not checkmate. You opponents king is not being attacked, so he is not in danger. A checkmate (the object of the game) is attacking the opponents king AND making sure he cannot escape. Think of it like any other huge advantage. Just because the opponent has an hour of time left and you have 10 seconds doesn't mean he gets to automatically win. Or as my brother often says, the faster car doesn't always win the race. You have to use your huge advantage to actually win. There are no points for style.
This just does not make any sense lmao, at all, and this is coming from someone that understands draws in chess. A race comparison is absolutely horrible lmao. "I am sitting right at the edge of the finish line on my last lap, my car works perfectly, the guy im racing against is on fire in a ditch and can't compete anymore, but we did equally well, and its a draw, because the other driver wasnt in danger, or even in danger of losing....."

...and then BAM you crash your car. And now you don't win. It happens quite frequently.
Anyway. Learning the rules is more fruitful than coming up with weird analogies (that don't even work).
Yes stalemate does not automatically imply that the king could be captured next move, it simply means one or both sides have no legal moves. The losing side could also be the one stalemating, like here:
White is not winning, and blacks king couldn't be taken next move even if he had a legal king move. This is actually why stalemate is a draw, because stalemate does not mean one side is winning/losing, it just means the side to move has no legal moves, for whatever reason. The common misconception of why some people think stalemate should be a win is that they assume the side doing the stalemating is winning, but this is a fallacy. It just means a lack of legal moves therefore the game cannot continue, so draw.
