He can't win because his time is gone.
You can't win because you have no pieces.
So: a DRAW.
my opponent Clearly lost on time but instead Insufficient material in the end?!

In Chess.com, if you have only your king left and your opponent has more pieces (queen, rook, bishops) and has no time left, there is a draw due to time vs. insufficient material.

Your opponent’s clock ran out and you had insufficient material to mate? He can’t win, you can’t mate, so a draw.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but USCF and FIDE both have this rule.

It is universal and in this case logic says it couldn't really be otherwise, although I'm sure the player who ran out of time would have trouble to claim the draw in a casual OTB game, more often than not.

Of which Sweden is a member.

well the definition of sufficient material is here not according FIDE but according american USCF rules and there are some slight differences but if your opponent ran out of time when you had only bare king then its a draw according any set of chess rules around the world, I believe

As title says my latest unrated game against Just77one1move I won on time but the game ended in draw due to insufficient material.
How is this possible, am I missing something? He clearly has QUEEN AND KNIGHT so why this result? I understand that I am losing here but why the draw, he never managed to mate me because of the time.

Like the rest have noted, the "win on time" feature applies only on the condition that you could launch a checkmate had you managed to complete the game, though USCF, FIDE and this site itself have different categorisations for it.
