I think tone is being lost in the text.
I was mostly pointing out that starting from Chess, where resigning is common place and as far as I can tell, games rarely end in real checkmates, and then applying social norms from the chess community to Dominion, where resigning is much less common, and some people think it's bad form to ever resign doesn't make a great analogy. In chess, where you expect the opponent to resign when they think the game is lost, the offer is certainly more arrogant in than in Dominion.
I think it's reasonable to believe that people prefer playing Dominion games which are yet undecided compared to playing games where they are almost certainly decided and the game will be a loss. Most people say thanks, gg, when I make the offer to accept resignation. I've never lost after I've made the offer. And occasionally, some "never resign" players go and endure the beating and that's fine. It's a little annoying if they both don't resign and expect me to play for a short end game, but hey, that's their pejorative (they aren't getting short end game until I can be certain that I win). But it's not really arrogant on my part, I just gave them an option. I don't do it to piss off my opponents, I just think the resignation is in our mutual interest, we both get to play the fun part of Dominion, where you don't actually know the outcome of a particular game yet.
