Here is a comment from the Cedilla source.

/* The difference between this and the default input method is the handling
 * of C+acute - this method produces C WITH CEDILLA rather than C WITH ACUTE.
 * For languages that use CCedilla and not acute, this is the preferred mapping,
 * and is particularly important for pt_BR, where the us-intl keyboard is
 * used extensively.

I think the same holds for French people using US keyboards.
