It is because some lakes are so big you cannot distinguish it as a lake because you will not see the land surrounding the lake, a lake can be considered a sea when it is so large you cannot see the land across it, you will only see the horizon. examples are: Caspian sea, Black Sea etc. and non considered sea lakes ones like lake Michigan, Erie, Ontario etc.
