I think perhaps you are confusing "what must be supported by implementations" (and ignoring the text describing the requirements) as stated in 6434, with operational usage.

There is not much difference.

For example - SLAAC must be supported by the implementations, but an environment isn't required to use it.

Still, if ND, which SHOULD be implemented, is not implemented, SLAAC CAN NOT be implemented. And, if RA is obsoleted, which is a point of discussion, there is no reason to keep so bloated ND only for address resolution. Masataka Ohta
