why would it run directly to the Alternator?

surely they're just using that term as a way to say "power when the key is on"

There has to be a fuse in there somewhere.

If I where looking for fuel pump power, I wouldn't go directly to the battery (or a wire that is always hot) because the fuel pump would run all the time. I'd be looking for a wire that is hot only when the key is in the "run" position.
