Many (decent) developers believe a CoC improves the project, in much the same way that any documentation on the development process or release lifecycle does so.

so do developers who would contribute if either there wasn't abuse, or if that abuse led to consequences.

a code of conduct tends to improve projects when having one can help attract additional people to the project, or keep people there.
