C-u C-c C-q is explicitly documented to do so. Surely, you may press universal argument by accident, but so you do for, say, C-u C-u C-k, deleting 16 lines at once.

I am reluctant (see the above), unless other users also think that such feature would be useful. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
