When did breasts become a thing that needed to be concealed in public and why?

Can but it's still not normal or typical.

In Spain, nudity is a constitutionally guaranteed human right - that's a stark difference compared to America and voyeuristic spying is considered a crime entirely on the peeper and not on the person having their privacy violated.

Right, but it's not normal outside of beaches.

You're correct, you won't find topless women wandering around city streets - but a woman may feel comfortable hanging up their laundry topless or being topless in their home near windows. In some parts of the US and Canada you can actually be fines for casual nudity if some asshole judge deemed it exhibitionist.

It's actually becoming less normal in a lot of places since every creep has a smartphone with a camera these days. Women have found their pictures or filmclips back on the internet, which was not the reason for going topless.

Also, it's been allowed in the last 50 - 60 years for most countries, not so much before.
