My general approach:
"To" line for people with action items and/or that need to review.
"Cc" line for people that should be aware and may want to review. Less important to them and no to-do items.
Putting somebody on "Cc" could be passive aggressive in certain instances. For example, if you started responding all to emails and always pulling somebody from the To into the Cc line 😄 ... would actually be kinda funny
TO: the main recipient(s) of the email
CC: anyone I feel may need to be aware, regardless of whether or not they are part of the team.
Ex.  a team email CCed to a managing supervisor.
BCC: sending an email to an alternate address, or, if there is the potential for friction in the office or with a client, I might BCC that correspondence to my supervisor just so they can stay in the loop and monitor, without calling attention to the fact.
NOTE:
When did copying other people to an email become passive aggressive? And why are we being passive aggressive at work? That’s just dumb

Very few of you are answering OPs question as to when you put someone's name in BOTH the to and cc line.

Says more about the Senders cognition BUT assigning motivation is just an opinion.
Fact = Info - Emotion
Opinion = Info + Experience
Stupidity = Opinion <> Facts
Or it was an accident.
I'd say its mostly due to lack of attention to detail. A person may add someone to the TO line to request a response, because they didn't check to see if that person was already included in the CC line or not seeing their name while parsing through 65 recipients, or someone used their secondary/alternate email vs their primary. I sometimes reply all (which already included myself) and add my primary email to the TO line to put the meeting on my main calendar, if the imvite was sent to my alternate email.
This is the most likely to me as well.
Jotted all the people who might need to know in cc
Wrote the hard part of the email
Had a little break before fixing it up
Put someone in the To field & hit send.
I think it's mere noise / no signal

The CC button is SUPER passive aggressive. It’s almost hilarious. I’ve actually stopped using it to hopefully get people to follow my lead.
I use CC to loop in my staff when I’m sending materials to a client, but casually dropping someone’s boss in CC is straight aggressive, No passive about it.
I like to let people notice that they don’t contribute much
To: this means you
Cc: for your awareness
To and CC: a function of auto fill, lazy Ctrl-C then actual-V action and then failure to reread your recipient s list
And always this too! ⬇️
Oh- potential laziness
I always got a kick out of the ones who cc'ed themselves even in replies.
I took it as an indication they'd already 'Gotten their sign', aka Foxworthy moment.

I often cc myself lately. Reasons (1) proof the email has gone through and didn't get waylaid by an unexpected tech anomaly at my end. More importantly (2) I used to work using more of a folder system, but at my current job I pretty much just use my Inbox and flag/star accordingly.
Rising Star
For some email subjects it’s very obvious why this should be done.
Others less so.
Rising Star
I’m sure I’ve done it before.
Put the main people I’m addressing the mail in “To”
Then I throw in a few others I think should be aware,as cc
but there was someone i forgot I already added in the “To” list
Anyone who has time to over-analyze it probably isn’t busy enough.
People are CCd on most of my emails. To line: Team lead + people whose actions will be impacted; CC: staff and people with passing/inactive interest.
I know this isn't a law bowl, but in our world CCing people is super normal. I think the same is true for business.

RACI Matrix
Responsible, Accountable, Consulted Informed
Assignee, Assignee's Manager, SME, Manager's Manager or PM
To: Assignee for Actions Item or Delivery
CC: Consulted if named, PM on milestone updates

So…not mutually exclusive and clearly defined. Makes sense 👍
Emails "To" someone are who you send them to
Emails which you are "CC'd" on are emails which you're being copied on (from the term "carbon copy" back before emails) so that "CC'd" recipient has a copy of the correspondence to stay informed, and it is explicitly known to the group that those CC'd people received copies.
BCC is the same as CC but the fact that BCC people received the copy is a secret (stands for "blind carbon copy")
Well it’s situational, but in my most recent job, it was common that if an email was sent out, replies are mandatory from anyone named in the To section, and those replies must Cc any emails in the Cc section.
So for example, I would send out a message including our Directors level members in both the To and Cc section. When I did that, the Directors knew that they needed to reply to my message directly, and the direct reports knew that I wanted the Directors Cc’d on any reply they send as well.

Update: now I got a follow up email from the sender (just to me) saying: ‘FYI - added your name twice’
Okay?? So… just be direct on why you did that? Still confused 😂 Apparently intentional. Noted.
That sounds more like oops I added your name twice than some passive aggressive move.
