The casual user of any system generally doesn't care about this type of stuff. The active, involved, users - a small percentage on almost any public system - **do** care. They care because it affects them directly in some cases, or because they are concerned about the goals, morals or other aspects of a system where they spend a lot of their time & energy.

It is, in some ways, similar to politics (in a nominally democratic nation, not the same in a totalitarian regime - but consider US, Canaa, Australia, most of Europe, etc.):

* A very small group really do things (career politicians, the Codidact developers)
* A larger group, but still a minority, put a lot of time & energy into the system (politically active, "Meta" users)
* The vast majority have their opinions but relatively little real action (voters, regular users)

We don't *expect* 100% of Codidact users to become developers or even significant Meta users. But we want to provide an environment where everyone who wants to participate in a productive way (from asking & answering on up to helping develop and run the system) can do so. For the casual user, Code of Conduct and similar issues will have zero effect on them - they just need a system where they can find answers to their questions. For the more active users, these things matter.
