This is intended behaviour, as it's how all our block level elements behave when you select them and hit backspace. As an alternative, if you delete the text by pressing backspace when the cursor is at the end of the text, you will be able to remove the text without deleting the block level element (press backspace one extra time at the end to remove the block itself, if desired).

If you'd like, we can make a feature request to support this behaviour (under a setting) and pass that along to the product team for evaluation.
