This obsolettes the 15 bpp bitmap and 16 bpp screen compatibility since 15 bpp bitmaps do not exist.
15 bpp bitmaps do exist. According to the Feng Yuan's book that depends on the driver and hardware.
Do you have any driver / hardware where we could verify or falsify that?
No, I don't. I'd say that even with a technically 15 bpp screen depth video memory organization a driver would still say "16" in the user visible settings to avoid a possible user confusion, but report "15" on the API level.
A google search "15 bpp screen depth site:microsoft.com" finds some info about this.
