Choosing not to say those words is a political statement. See the original commit message for the code of conduct: "Explicit guidelines have demonstrated success in other projects and other areas of the kernel." And see the FAQ entry at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/faq for "The Contributor Covenant explicitly lists a set of protected classes; does this make it acceptable to discriminate or make others feel unwelcome based on other factors?" (I wrote that FAQ entry and submitted it upstream, where it was enthusiastically merged.)
