Do not agree with the premise that we do not need CoC. The first point that bad actors are booted from organizations is false. The face is that harassers and predators exist for years in all sorts of organizations, and this is why we need anti-harassment policies put into place.

There seems to be a bit of rhetorical sleight-of-hand here. How, precisely, does an "anti-harassment policy" do anything about "predators"? What sort of "predation" is possible, even in theory, in the context of, say, a GitHub issue tracker? >The first point that bad actors are booted from organizations is false I consider many of the people currently enforcing codes of conduct for major organizations, and advocating for their implementation on new projects, to be "bad actors". Of course, explaining the harm they can cause wouldn't fit in the margins here, so to speak.
