Just because a device in the circuit is capable of 15A means pretty much nothing. You have to look at everytning in the circuit. For instance the power transformer may only be rated to handle 5A. If a winding especially the primary goes wrong you want that fuse blowing ASAP. This is a risk not worth taking.
I connected a power cord on an NAD amp and later an upgraded linear ps for my Squeezebox diectly to the power transformer primary. No switch, no fuse. That made a big difference. In both cases the power cords were plugged into something with a fused AC out for protection- one a power conditioner the other a regenerator.
