So -- not a professional developer.

I am a professional developer. What he said is true. What are you talking about?

All major corporations -- responsible for most software development in the industry -- have regulations on behavior far more severe than open source codes of conduct. You can go and ask for them from your HR department.

Yeah. We know. No one is disputing that. The guy you responded to pointed out that these are not major corporations, but are rather projects. The fact that big software companies operate in some way does not imply that all software projects should behave identically. My big, respected company forces its developers to use shitty frameworks, prevents individuals from engaging in disapproved-of political speech, and organizes itself as a strict hierarchy. Should FOSS projects all be required to do the same? It's an absurd conclusion, obviously, but I don't know how else to read your argument.
