A cancellation token doesn't inherently *do* anything. It's up to the code which does the work to call `ThrowIfCancellationRequested`. If the token isn't passed on and isn't explicitly checked then there's no point passing it in. If the real question is whether to call `ThrowIfCancellationRequested` in a trivial method: if it's truly trivial then don't.
