Because they are hidden? When editing it makes sense that we can see hidden faces, otherwise how do we make proper editing choices? So when you only select the object, it shows which parts will be in the render.

When Polygon Mode is activated in Edit Mesh, hidden wireframes may disappear because the view is focused on faces, not edges. To see wireframes, enable "Edges Only" or switch back to Wireframe or Edge mode in the viewport settings.
