'Is `-ftree-slp-vectorize` not enabled by `-O2` in GCC?

From https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html

It says "-ftree-slp-vectorize: Perform basic block vectorization on trees. This flag is enabled by default at -O2 and by -ftree-vectorize, -fprofile-use, and -fauto-profile."

However it seems I have to pass a flag explicitly to turn on SIMD. Did I mis undertand something here? It is enabled at -O3 though.
