I just find the notion that all CoC policies are useless in all cases to be a bit broad and almost parochial.

There can be cases in a multi-cultural collective where a CoC helps everyone get on the same page.

A CoC can also act as a "policy of last resort" where you generally have a more laissez-faire approach, but you can refer to the CoC policy if someone repeatedly doesn't get the message.

It all depends on the context of course, but staying that CoC policies are universally bad seems very simplistic.
