This *formalizes* the role of a CoC as a power-grab. Contra CoC, meritocratic (and fluid) power-structures determine who has the power to exclude. *Democracy* gives the power to a (yet another unacknowledged) power structure of socially powerful tyrants and bullies. https://twitter.com/hikikomorphism/status/1054458396164964352 …
I'm not sure what your objection is - just because someone can apply motivated reasoning to the interpretation of some ruleset doesn't necessarily mean they're _less constrained_ than in the case where there's no ruleset at all and they're just dispensing judgement on a whim

This highlights how a CoC (or any structure) *still* serves unacknowledged power-structures- the structures that serve the interpreters. "The Tyranny Of The Unstructured" is a smoke-screen for socially powerful tyrants that install authoritarian structures *they control*.

Nothing's perfect, so? We've established that no organization structure is completely immune to malicious powerful members, I don't think any reasonable person would disagree with that, but that doesn't mean not even trying to constrain malicious powerful members is the way to go

This is reasonable. Perhaps pinning down what can reasonably be considered "malicious" is the rational thing for us (in the broad, community sense) to do. My criteria is acutely circumscribed- norms closer to /b/'s and further from corporate HR department's aligns with my vals.
