You are reading it incorrectly.

If you specify no dhcp6_ options (none are specified by default) then
dhcpcd will request matching common dhcp options that you are
requesting. If you specify any dhcp6_ option then dhcpcd will not do
this, so you need to request all the options you are interested in.

Clearer now?
