'q' is a way to switch from column view to non-column view.  I think
that's reasonable.

If you really want you can advice 'org-agenda-quit' (which is bound to
'q' in the agenda) to always quit column view before all other action.

#v+
(advice-add
 'org-agenda-quit
 :before
 (lambda () (if org-agenda-columns-active (org-columns-quit))))
#v-

Another possibility would be to advice 'Q' like

#v+
(advice-add
 'org-agenda-Quit
 :before
 (lambda () (if org-agenda-columns-active (org-columns-quit))))
#v-

All not so well tested.
