Yeah, I did not quite understand it either. I think its because ANSI,
POSIX, et al only require a 'struct in6_addr'. They don't require the
other members.

Looking at the two definitions of in6_addr showed both guarded the
additional members. The following is from a mostly GNU Linux machine
(Ubuntu):

Here one (/usr/include/linux/in6.h):

#if __UAPI_DEF_IN6_ADDR
struct in6_addr {
    union {
        __u8        u6_addr8[16];
#if __UAPI_DEF_IN6_ADDR_ALT
        __be16      u6_addr16[8];
        __be32      u6_addr32[4];
#endif
    } in6_u;
#define s6_addr         in6_u.u6_addr8
#if __UAPI_DEF_IN6_ADDR_ALT
#define s6_addr16       in6_u.u6_addr16
#define s6_addr32       in6_u.u6_addr32
#endif
};
#endif /* __UAPI_DEF_IN6_ADDR */

And here's the other (/usr/include/netinet/in.h):

#ifndef __USE_KERNEL_IPV6_DEFS
/* IPv6 address */
struct in6_addr
  {
    union
      {
    uint8_t __u6_addr8[16];
#ifdef __USE_MISC
    uint16_t __u6_addr16[8];
    uint32_t __u6_addr32[4];
#endif
      } __in6_u;
#define s6_addr         __in6_u.__u6_addr8
#ifdef __USE_MISC
# define s6_addr16      __in6_u.__u6_addr16
# define s6_addr32      __in6_u.__u6_addr32
#endif
  };
#endif /* !__USE_KERNEL_IPV6_DEFS */
