That RFC says the Router Alert Option might be abused by malicious transit traffic in global public transit networks, depending in part upon the quality of one's router implementation(s). It also says that the Router Alert Option can be deployed safely, for example within an Administrative Domain or in an Overlay deployment. It does not say that all hop-by-hop options are always bad. In fact, it says that they are often useful and can be deployed safely.
