In what country is it acceptable to not treat others with basic courtesy and respect? Which is really all the list is asking for.

Basic courtesy and respect doesn't need much of a list.

This is a long list of codified norms du jour to launch endless power micro-games and let attention-seeking holler than though people to run the show.

Why not just say that, then?
Because experience has taught us that some people need it explained in a bit more detail what constitutes basic courtesy and respect.
If they don't know it already, I doubt thrusting a CoC document at them will enlighten them. People who are rude are intentionally rude. It's kinda the whole point to being rude.
I agree with you to some extent, but note that we have all sorts of traffic laws and not just a generic "drive safely."
