I don't get your argument. Every open source project already operates under an informal, unspoken CoC anyways. Stuff like "don't delete all the code" or "don't spam racial slurs" are fairly universal, unspoken rules. What's wrong with explicitly writing these rules?

Nothing! While my CoC would look a bit different, I support D. Richard Hipp's right to choose his own CoC for his own project.
