Why not just "remove target creature or planeswalker you control from combat"? You don't need to clarify that creatures in combat are attacking or blocking.
I felt it was better to be more clear than I needed to be than less.
Why would someone want to remove a non-attacking, non-blocking creature from combat though? I think it being too wordy just makes it harder to parse.
Second question: When would a Planeswalker ever be involved in combat when it wasn't already a creature?
When it's being attacked.
Not sure such a planeswalker is technically in the combat under current rules; but the meaning is certainly clear.
Well, "If a planeswalker is removed from combat, it stops being attacked" is explicitly the line in the comp rules that inspired this.
