I tried "Block Area Selection" in LibreOffice with variable pitch fonts,
and the vertical lines are not straight:

So maybe it's impossible to draw straight rectangle boundaries.

OTOH, with monospaced fonts LibreOffice selects such Block Area
on the reported text:

and DEL deletes the selected text.  So maybe Emacs should do the same.
