Byakugan is enhanced sensory perception, not EXTRAsensory perception. You just see more (nearly 360° field of vision, large distances, higher resolving power, penetrating vision, chakra vision), but you still SEE as with any eye. Sage mode on the other hand literally gives you a new channel of perception separate from your 5 physical senses.
