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 :-)
