Okay, so I was writing a story, or editing a part of a story, and the grammar checker I use told me that I was using "for" where I should have been using "to." But, I don't agree. Could anyone explain to me why this first sentence would be correct and the second would not?
His homework looks really hard, but it doesn’t seem hard to him, which makes sense because I’m a freshman and he’s a junior in all honors and AP courses.

I tried to look this up, but the results basically defined "to" and "for" and gave lists of when to use them geared towards non-native English speakers. I'm not looking for a definition; I'm asking for an explanation of the above word usage. Thank you.
