You couldn't be more wrong. As two of my good friends are college recruiters (1 an Ivy school, 1 a good private institution), they absolutely look at it. It may not matter much at all for 85% of schools, but the better ones care.
Not all high schools offer the same opportunity, so class rank differentiates who can outperform their peers. But you are correct, all (I would guess) recalculate GPAs based on the raw transcript info to make it apples-to-apples.
