Multiplying what's in parenthesis by the thing adjacent to it is what makes sense to me even if that's not the standard.
With PEMDAS order of operations, I guess you would need to write such an equation as  "6 ÷ (2(2+1))" right?

It is true however that the left-to-right aspect of the order of operations is arbitrary, which is what the problem mentioned hinges upon.
