It'd be nice if you could find a source more authoritative than someones 'own work' on Wikimedia.
There's likely a treaty between the US and Canada establishing what's a lake and what's a river.
Also, if the goal is to match the OSM wiki rules, why waterway=riverbank over the newer water=river?

Do you refer to Treaty of 1908? So you have a source? I haven't found it. But, lakes and rivers are natural features and the lower limit could be the influence of the lake over the river and the upper limit could be the place where the water begins decrease in altitude, I think.
OSM wiki rules say you can use waterway=riverbank or natural=water + water=river. It's an user decision. I prefer the first because with it you get the "desired" rendering.
