OK, as is, "To:" becomes the sender of the post to which we're replying,
i.e. the person to whom we actually are replying, and "CC:" is the list
and all the other recipients of the prior post, i.e. the CC recipients.
The effect of that is the same as your proposed aesthetic variant, AIUI.

On gcc-patches, for example, posts use every variant of the above, and
even have several recipients on "To:", and others on "CC:". But the most
common is the native behaviour of mutt, I observe. I.e. the list is more
often on "CC:".
