More like: why did other Romance languages not drop the Ç, like Spanish did? ;)
Spanish has had a Ç for most of its history. It made its first appearances in texts from the 12th century and was still actively used well into the 1600s.
But during those five centuries, its original /ts/ pronunciation slowly shifted into /z/ (or /s/, depending on the region), and that's why Ç was officially excluded from the Spanish alphabet in 1741: because we already had Z, C and S to represent the sound Ç made by then.

Not sure about French or Catalan, but in the north of Portugal, Ç is still distinguished from Z / SS / S, so that's an easy answer for Portuguese :-)

The most common use of "ç" in French is "ça", a pronoun similar to "it". While "sa" is pronounced the same way as "ça", "sa" is an adjective that means "her". By changing the spelling of "ça" to "sa", readers would lose a valuable hint. (They'd have to look ahead to determine the meaning of the word and to determine if the word was the end of a clause or not.)
