I'd say brushing a dog like this, that is primarily kept indoors, IS necessary. The problem is, dogs/wolves outside get soaking wet in the rain and often go for a nice swim here & there. They also rub up against things like trees and bushes. This all helps get the undercoat out. With house dogs, they don't have that same experience, especially since most owners would prefer if their dogs NOT get soaked in the rain. 
This is why brushing is necessary, if the dog isn't getting wet to help the undercoat push out, it stays on the dog and builds up, which can get worse over time.
Yeah, Vicky I agree - that´s just what I have told before in my postings before :

Ok, my experience with Csv ( now 15 years ) is that even if kept all time inside house it is not like you tell about

This might be true for the breeds you know,like Husky - but Csv normally don`t build up undercoat because of keeping inside house, they only do loose their hair constantly over the whole year ... and a lot of hair, both the upper hair and undercoat too.
So you need good stuff for house-cleaning, a lot of humour and a wife who tolerates that... best you have all this three things together!
