Yes, you can.  (And yes, Emacs should offer this
behavior out of the box, IMO.)

I use this command (I bind it to `C-x C-;).  It's
from library `misc-cmds.el'.

(defun comment-region-lines (beg end &optional arg)
  "Like `comment-region' (which see), but comment or uncomment whole lines."
  (interactive "*r\nP")
  (when (> beg end)
    (setq beg  (prog1 end (setq end  beg))))
  (let ((bol  (save-excursion
                (goto-char beg)
                (line-beginning-position)))
        (eol  (save-excursion
                (goto-char end)
                (if (bolp)
                    (point)
                  (line-end-position)))))
    (comment-region bol eol arg)))
