It is reported in the manual that when called without arguments dhcpcd

But, on my machine it sets up the Wi-Fi interface when invoked like
that!

I use dhcpcd 6.6.2 with the stock conf file, and I don't have any
Ethernet interfaces (because I blacklisted the module).

Wifi is generally also ethernet :)

The dhcpcd-6.x series takes the liberty of starting wpa_supplicant for wireless interfaces if properly configured and not already started. The dhcpcd-ui project provides GTK+ and Qt system tray based applications allowing for SSID selection.
