Whats the concern?

Its Pathfinder, not D&D, but D&D has similar guiding statements in its core books. In simple terms, elements or topics of play should be acceptable to all at the table and enforced by all, not just the GM. If the group is ok involving topics of say.. rape, slavery, religious persecution, heavy taxation, etc than fine, but if there's something a player would prefer to avoid, bring it up in session 0 and eliminate/change the story for any such scenarios.

If you have a friend IRL that tells you something like "Hey, I was raped. It really hurt me and mentions of forceful and unwelcome sex bring on traumatic memories that paralyze me with fear.", it would be assumed that its a topic that shouldnt be brought up with regularity or jest. We try to police ourselves in what we say to not cause emotional distress in those we care about. In a game setting the same applies, and we can objectively take it into account in playstyle.

That's basic human interaction that you are describing, it doesn't belong in a rulebook for a game.

If you seen this in a rulebook for any other game you would think it very odd.

Should we put rules about basic hygiene in there as well (players should shower before playing), or tips on how to arrive with your shoelaces tied (Over, under, around and through,

Meet Mr. Bunny Rabbit, pull and through!) ?

It's remedial, assuming that the GM has no grasp on basic life skills and is therefore condescending in my opinion.

It's especially insulting if you've forked over money for this sermon.
