Why on Earth can we not create custom specific angle preferences in MEP settings? Or at the very least, why isn't 15deg an option?

Have you considered putting that in as an Idea in the Revit Ideas Forum?

Yes this is possible.
See the article below on how to do it.
Model pipe elbow at angles less than 5 degrees in Revit (autodesk.com)
I think they have set them at what would traditionally be commercially available elbow angles but you can also use the "any angle" option then set the preferred snap angles in the general settings:
For duct and pipe routing?
If the below doesn't solve it, please make clear what angles you mean and what you want to accomplish.
They want to add to or change the list of angles in that "Use specific angles" list.
@hmunsell So it can be ignored? Haha. I did a search to see if this was posted on the forums and I thought it included the ideas as well. I guess I was mistaken, cause this was posted as an idea:
More Specific Routing Preferences
@iainsavage While I don't consider your work-around an acceptable solution and think Autodesk needs to fix this, I'll mark it as the solution because it's not your fault lol.
If anyone comes across this page and thinks we should be able to add custom angles to the preferences, please go vote at the link above.

I don't know what your experience of Revit is but if you reject so-called "workarounds" you're going to have a hard time going forward.
Very few Ideas result in any action by Autodesk and there are issues from 2007 still unresolved.
So you can either use "workarounds" or wait years (or possibly for ever) for your wishes to be implemented.
Good Luck!
