Copy constructor is not inherited

by

Because the standard says so. [class.inhctor]/p3, emphasis mine:

For each non-template constructor in the candidate set of inherited
constructors other than a constructor having no parameters or a
copy/move constructor having a single parameter, a constructor is
implicitly declared with the same constructor characteristics unless
there is a user-declared constructor with the same signature in the
complete class where the using-declaration appears or the constructor
would be a default, copy, or move constructor for that class.
