Lots of things other than lakes are tagged "natural=water". When a mapper sees one of these (e.g. a pond) represented in P2's simple view as a "lake", they're going to want to "fix" it.

This was logged in P1 as #2117 , and fixed there by using "water" instead of "lake". It's also part of the issue described in #4510 .

Also, this help question:

https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/16658/whats-the-size-of-a-large-body-of-water

seems motivated by any "natural=water" appearing as "lake" in simple view.
