Mostly this is because RFC describe what goes over the wire, not what happens internally to a node.  There isn’t a RFC 
that says populate the DHCP DNS servers advertised downstream with those learnt by DHCP from upstream but CPE routers 
do this all the time. You could also just turn on DHCPv6 relay when you detect you are a interior router or have a 
check box next to the enable DHCP checkbox which says use relay mode.

Device vendors need more and more spoon feeding these days.
