Why add row select check box in hooks?

[adsee42]

From all examples I can find about row selection with react-table (useRowSelect), the checkbox is added like:

const {
    ...
    selectedFlatRows,
    state: { selectedRowIds },
  } = useTable(
    {
      columns,
      data,
    },
    useRowSelect,
    hooks => {
      hooks.visibleColumns.push(columns => [
        // Let's make a column for selection
        {
          id: 'selection',
          // The header can use the table's getToggleAllRowsSelectedProps method
          // to render a checkbox
          Header: ({ getToggleAllRowsSelectedProps }) => (
            <div>
              <IndeterminateCheckbox {...getToggleAllRowsSelectedProps()} />
            </div>
          ),
          // The cell can use the individual row's getToggleRowSelectedProps method
          // to the render a checkbox
          Cell: ({ row }) => (
            <div>
              <IndeterminateCheckbox {...row.getToggleRowSelectedProps()} />
            </div>
          ),
        },
        ...columns,
      ])
    }
  )

Is there any specific reason to not define the checkbox column in columns?
