But VS2015 does have compiler support for ARM. So why does edk2 not use it?

VS2015 has no ARM arch tool configuration in tools_def.txt. So, you have to build ARM with GCC. In this link https://sourceforge.net/projects/edk2developertoolsforwindows/files, the pre-built windows binary GCC tool are provided. You can download them, then build ARM arch with GCC on Windows.
