Why not have an optional left side navigation in communication site?
ofergalinIsrael This is by default in SharePoint. As per Microsoft, communication site cannot have left side navigation.
Check below references for more information & reasons:
- Can I move the navigation for the communication site to be of the left side instead on top
- Enabling left navigation for communication SharePoint site
If you want Microsoft to allow this feature, please submit feedback/idea on feedback portal: SharePoint feedback portal

ganeshsanap This does not explain WHY not have left navigation.
It could be an option with a disclaimer that ??? will not work or will have some side effect.
Users want options, not limitations.
ofergalinIsrael I agree with your points. But, these is how Microsoft have designed it and allowed left navigation only on team sites and not on communication sites.
