FWIW, M-x shell differs from what a plain terminal is doing (xterm, in my case), but, I do prefer 'M-x shell' behavior: it allows me to copy multiple lines, getting the same results as when I type them manually, or copy them line by line. My xterm doesn't seem to allow me to do that.
I am unsure what do you expect from xterm, but perhaps it is not responsibility of a terminal application.
Multiple lines can be copied to regular BASH prompt (bracketed paste is enabled by default nowadays), however it may be inconvenient to edit.
You may use edit-and-execute-command (C-x C-e) (BASH, not Emacs key binding) to start an editor and to paste multiple commands there.
See also "fc" BASH built-in for editing and re-executing last commands.
