Yes, it might not be 100% natural.

But as Samuel pointed out accidentially turned on column view can be a
trap in particular for new users.  And C-c C-c often is a way out not
only in Org mode.  And also recall Bastien's observation that C-c C-c
already all the time quit column view when triggered on a line in column
view state.
