If Anything the previous CoC was activist nonsense. This one seems like a compromise because tech has been infiltrated by the so called by the anglosphere "social justice warriors", lefting a trail of toxicity and destruction in communities that were building stuff and relationships just fine since the 90s. So maybe this time people feels like the CoC is just fine and stops being a distraction. Some will still think it's nonsense but at least it doesn't try to push BS on them, and some others will think it's not enough but eventually will grow up and stop caring.

This has nothing to do with "the anglosphere" -- take a good hard look at what's happening in France, or Scandinavia, or huge chunks of the Latin American world. Really the only places where you don't see this are those places where there is active backsliding to dictatorship, e.g. Hungary, Russia, or China.

  It's mostly american media extending its culture through social media, and local media fishing for narratives. I know it because I'm spanish, and speak also french and portuguese. Witnessed all the transformation. Some academic theories breed in french universities were imported in the US around late 70s early 80s, got spinned a bit, got communication theory slapped on, and just got transformed into narratives for the average activist. That's how I see it. And it clearly gained traction circa 2010 with social media. Nowadays you can clearly see how the US internal affairs frame goes hand with hand with this narratives, matching most of the times weirdly with local issues, like this George Floyd thing. I'm 32yo so basically lived through the transition.
