When I cropped this picture, I thought: how cool would it be if I could choose 1:1 as image ratio and move the square like I would shift a lens?

I haven't corrected perspective by software. I just levelled the camera (set in portrait orientation) horizontally and cropped the foreground. Of course, cropping is possible - I just have the RAW file with â…“ of useless data on my hard drive.
Admittedly one needs an ultra-wide angle lens, a good or better one - but there are a couple of good or excellent ones around which at least could work as PC lens substitute in some cases.

Doing it in post like above always comes at the cost of cropping parts of the picture which I would have preferred to keep.
