I remember being annoyed by that years ago the few times I used Windows. I am used to triple-click+drag to achieve this when I need it. When I actually don't want to select words, it gets in the way. One can probably use the keyboard for precise things like that though. I can see triple-clicking+drag being tricky and that most people probably want to select entire words most of the time anyway, so I don't know what the best solution is. I'd argue that selections need handles like on mobile operating systems so it can be edited afterwards.
