It's impossible to undo creating a list item while retaining the list marker when there is already some content in the editable

[mabryl]

📝 Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)

1. Type anything into the editor (or create an empty paragraph) and create a new line
2. Type 1. or * and hit Space to insert a list item via block autoformatting
3. Press backspace

✔️ Expected result

The creation of the list should be undone but the marker used to create it should remain in the editable. This is the case when the newly created list item is the only piece of content:

❌ Actual result

When content is already present in the editable, deleting the list item will also remove the marker:
