What is going on here? Why is it a Draw?

You need to have the possibility to win to gain a win from your opponent timing out. If you can't ever possibly checkmate him due to having insufficient material, ie: A lone King or a King and a Knight
then you get a draw when your opponent times out as that was the best possible scenario for you due to your material position.
If you had at least 1 pawn to go with your King you would have won, as it is theoretically possible to promote that pawn to a Queen and checkmate your opponent.

What are you not understanding? Your opponent ran out of time. You didn't have enough material to win, therefore the game ended in a draw.
