Using aside instead of div

Can't the intro be wrapped using "aside" tag (as it's related to the main content of the page but is not the primary focus of the page) instead of "div" tag ? Thank you.

You can wrap it in an aside, but it wouldn't really be considered a best practice.

The introduction in this case is a brief declaration of what the page is about. I would certainly consider it directly related to the page content. If someone were using a screen reader, they might entirely skip over the intro because they thought it was something else.

For best practices, think of an aside as a different conversation about the same topic. It could be for an exclusive VR Gaming blog or some reviews of VR devices.
