Comment:

 Technically, the block is not left-aligned but it originally aligns the
 same way as text, unless the theme has a different default styling for the
 figures. When you select one of the options, that assigns a different
 layout for the individual block. Changing the theme's default figure
 styling is possible with [https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-
 easily-add-custom-css-to-your-wordpress-site/ Additional CSS].

 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/29822 A similar issue was
 opened on GitHub], and I added a comment there relating to this aspect of
 the alignment dropdown. You could join the discussion there and/or on a
 new issue, if this should be separate from that one.

 (Before 5.3, these options were displayed in a row instead of in a
 dropdown.)
