The `section` element is meant to be used for a standalone section of a document. This generally is not what this `LeftColumn` component is used to represent. For example, it's most widely used to position a heading within the `Section` component, which typically already includes a `section` itself. `LeftColumn` is for general-purpose, presentational usage, and therefore can't make assumptions about the semantics of the document in which it's used. As a result, a non-semantic element like `div` is a more appropriate choice.
