I do not know.
The only clear thing is that he resigned too early.

I admit that I also did not understand the decision of kramnik to resign
but I thought that he probably knows more than me about endgames and prefered to
use computer time to test pondering with movei and not to analyze the positions
in that way.

This only proves that the claim of Vincent Diepveen that queen is better than 2
rooks is clearly wrong.

You can see that even Queen and knight have problem to beat 2 rooks inspite of
the fact that black has a passed pawn.
