Which is exactly what <header> is trying to be.
> …introductory content for its nearest ancestor sectioning content or sectioning root element. A header typically contains a group of introductory or navigational aids.

Not at all: > > A header typically contains a group of introductory or navigational aids. Key word here is group. A header is a block containing other elements. A heading is a line of text. Often the header contains a heading, but header element itself is not a heading. A realistic example might be something like: <header> <h1>New York Times</h1> <time>Monday, February 20, 2017</time> </header>
