You can change that by by setting comint-prompt-read-only to t. But erasing prompts is sometimes useful for cleanup in shell buffers, whereas actually erasing the prompt is probably really never useful in the minibuffer (although you can do it if you customize minibuffer-prompt-properties). Actually, there are functions that allow you to erase shell prompts for cleanup, even with comint-prompt-read-only set to t, but you need to read some docs (the comint-prompt-read-only docstring) and paste some stuff from there into your .emacs to be able to do that. This is why comint-prompt-read-only is nil by default. I personally have comint-prompt-read-only set to t, but I routinely use `comint-kill-whole-line' or `comint-kill-region' to clean up comint buffers.
