I don't know about 5 queens, but I usually promote a queen and a rook in a time scramble so I can just premove the whole checkmate. With two queens you can stalemate, but a rook in front of a queen will guarantee a ladder mate.

Don’t take it personally. Most of the time, it says more about them than you.
Have Fun

If someone is winning in chess, and they have like, a minute left, many really rude people will promote EVERYTHING to a queen, which is really annoying. You only need 1 queen & 1 of any piece to checkmate, but they go their way to get 5 queens.
To me its just a creative way to play and fun, also it may be a unique opportunity to experiment with multiple promotions. Seeing it as a punishment or disrespect means you have certain expectations created by yourself about how the game should evolve so when these aren't met it bothers u
A less optimistic way to see it, imo, is to suppose they do it to affect you in some way or to troll you bc u didn't resign

What is truly disrespectful is to not resign when you have completely lost. How someone decides to win is entirely up to themselves. A win is a win, a lose can be salty or it can be in grace. Prolonging a game that you have completely lost is disrespectful to your opponent. He has a queen and you have nothing? Resign. I intentionally refuse to checkmate my opponent if they won't resign, and rather prolong the games for as many moves as possible. If it takes 500 moves to prove you are a salty loser then so be it. I've won and you can either accept the loss or let me rub it in like the salty loser you are.
what if your opponent is a woman?

and I'm guessing with the rook in front of the queen you wouldn't have to worry about losing a piece if you were to lead with queen and it wasn't protected by the rook.
