But that's my point... If they're well designed, they won't be susceptible to mains noise. Very often I see amplifier circuit designs, which have very poor rejection of supply noise. If the designer really feels that approach gives the best sound, then he/she should take much greater care designing the power supply, to ensure it rejects mains noise. You can reject mains noise in the power supply, or in the audio circuit. In my opinion, products that don't provide adequate rejection in either, and rely on a quiet mains for good sound, are poorly designed. As always, YMMV!
