It's actually done for two primary reasons:
1.) Allowing private replies, as you suggested - which means
the CC address could be the private address.
2.) Posting to archives and newsgroups with credit/contact
info from the original poster - requires the original FROM address.
However, the larger issue is with mail clients not properly
disposing of the subsequent messages they may receive that have the
same Message ID.
