Left navigation facilitates a vertical scanning direction, this greatly improves speed, it also requires fewer visual fixations so we can see multiple navigation links at the same time.
(Side navigation can be positioned on the right for the right to left writing systems)

If we look at the common laptop screens and the portion that is taken by the navigation components, left navigation often will take 3 times more space than the top one. Adding to that some reserved header space for search or other elements like notifications or profile.
Left navigation can easily take 25% of page space. Collapsing side navigation to save space will also not always work, as you cannot consistently fit long labels, and having icon-only navigation will strain user memory too much.

This can change depending on the device and font sizes, but generally, you would be able to show at least double the number of navigation links in the side nav above the fold (not mentioning the scroll).
Side navigation works better when your information architecture has many top-level items that cannot be logically grouped into several buckets. This also means it's much easier to add more items as your product grows.

The scalability of the side navigation makes it the only choice when users can configure their own navigation.
Variable menus are quite common, be it channels in Slack, folders in Outlook, or hierarchical menus in Drive or Confluence.

The left navigation with a drawer-style submenu has issues with diagonal cursor movement. In addition regardless of the number of items in the submenu, with side navigation most likely you will need to block another vertical pane on the screen.

This edge that top navigation bars have with hover-activated menus, is even more apparent with mega menus that are predominant on e-commerce and other big websites.
They are an excellent design choice for accommodating a large number of options or for revealing lower-level site pages at a glance. This layout also leaving more space for product display and ads.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
