I agree even though it's not just occasionally that it saves a click.

I think this happens more often to those who work in windows significant
amount of their time. I don't, so I use this feature extensively and
actually rely on it.

However, I see no justification why marking the text and pressing delete
doesn't delete it when the focus is in the same window. Is there really
a doubt what a user wants?
