If that’s how it’s supposed to work, there’d be no point in the CC field at all, would there?
CC is not for ignoring. It’s for your information even if you’re not an intended participant in the conversation. i.e. you’re supposed to at least read it.
I use CC quite a lot. People in the CC are supposed to read the email because it is in their interest, even though they don’t need to reply.
E.g.
To: Graphic Designer
Cc: Programmer, Middle Manager
We considered the three options that you gave us. We decided to go with option 2 because option 1 was too technically complicated to implement and the big boss didn’t like the color of option 3. Please, send the assets to Programmer and forward your invoice to Middle Manager.
It’s a carbon copy for archival. That shit might show up when you’re searching your inbox, so it still makes sense. I automatically shove all mails where I’m in Cc into a separate folder and skim through it once a week maybe. If you want me to do something, then please address me directly. If you’re not capable of that, then you should perhaps look for a different job.

Eh, I see it as more of a “if you come across a need for this information, it is searchable to you, but response is not expected.”
