You would think that, but the people for whom codes of conduct are written are right pricks, you know? I think that's something that people tend to forget - if you're a reasonable, normal person, who is acting in good faith, the code of conduct isn't really for you, it's for the dickheads who are behaving horribly in the first place.
Having your own wooly rules based on some cute idea you came up with means that those dickheads will have a fantastic time figuring out the best ways to weasel around them. He could have adopted the Contributor Covenant, like everyone else of note, but he's convinced that some old dead guy knows more about managing people in open source development than the people who work on this stuff for a living today. I think he's just been protected from the industry at large by his oddball approach to development.

You're obviously more up on the sector than me.
But I'd have thought "hateful behavior" is at least as ambiguous, and that; "Guard your tongue against evil and depraved speech" does cover hateful behavior, in the same way "love your neighbor as yourself" covers discrimination.
These also seem to jointly cover the hateful behavior points too.
Do not give way to anger.
Do not nurse a grudge.
Do not entertain deceit in your heart.
Do not give a false peace.
Do not forsake charity.
Utter only truth from heart and mouth.
Do not return evil for evil.
Do no wrong to anyone, and bear patiently wrongs done to yourself.
Love your enemies.
Do not curse those who curse you, but rather bless them.
Hate no one.
Be not jealous, nor harbor envy.
Do not love quarreling.
Respect your seniors.
Love your juniors.
Make peace with your adversary before the sun sets.
