Why do we not categorize metal oxides as salts while we categorize metal sulphides as salts?

Metals sulphides are formed by replacing H+ ions of Hydrogen Sulphide by cations due to which they are categorized as salts but now coming to metal oxides , they are bases and can't be formed by replacing H+ ions of acids due which they are not categorized as salts.

4. Usually, the metal sulphides are made with the replacing of the H+ ions in case of the Hydrogen Sulphide.
This is made to happen by cations and for the reason they are categorized as salts.
On the other hand, in case of metal oxides, these are bases and cannot be formed with the replacing of the H+ ions in case of acids and this is why they cannot be categorized as salts.
