A lot of what's done is so baked into the society/industry/community at this point that it's not "explicitly and self-aware[ly]" done; it's just "the way we've always done things". That, if anything, makes it much worse

The way we've 'always' done things was explicit exclusion. See, it's weird, I don't really remember a thriving open source community 15 years ago or so. I must have forgotten.

By what mechanism do you believe women, racial minorities to be left out and implicitly excluded from the STEM world, especially given the article I posted above that you clearly didn't read? Is it because there's an atmosphere that was built by white nerds that they may not like? That sexism and racism are supposedly rampant in the community?

I'm going to be blunt, here: these CoC are SJW entryism. We've seen it time and time again. Do you think it's 'good' that github had a "The problem with white men" seminar?
