Answers.Text: In professional chess, it is insulting. Otherwise, there is a small chance your opponent blunders their queen or accidently stalemates you or can't play a rook and king mate or someting. Also, you should resign based on "is there any chance I win or draw", not based on hypothetical opponents feelings.

Comments.Text: The decision is of course yours , when you resign or if you resign at all or play until mate. But it is a good attitude to resign absolutely hopeless positions. In fact, this was the case already after the huge blunder Qg7 here, and after Bg7 , White could well have resigned. But of course you can play some more moves and hope for a big blunder from the opponent.
