Coding projects do not adopt code of conducts simply because other coding
projects have adopted them but because they want to foster a community
around their projects that is diverse and welcoming to people within and
who have not yet joined the project. (And, yes, it's certainly worth
discussing whether a CoC is an appropriate tool to achieve that goal.)

But the fact that OSM is not a coding project is entirely beside the point.
I do not think dismissing the idea of OSM adopting a CoC just because we
aren't a coding project is a logical conclusion because CoCs aren't
specifically tied to coding projects.
