Does it make sense that I never used those muscles even though I've done back day consistently?

This is extremely weird. Your back shouldn't be the limiting factor in bench press, it just needs to stabilize your upper body. Either your back is very underdeveloped compared to your front or you are using some weird bad form that makes your back muscles cramp up in some.way. I CG bench press all the time and never had any back sensations different from normal bench press.
