– If UTC is meant to be a universal time, then why are there different “versions”? (utc-5, utc-11)

Wouldn’t it just make sense to define a given hour as UTC 00:00 and then reference that ONE time when communicating? As it stands, were just giving every single time zone two or three different names for seemingly no merit

You are right there is only 1 version. The suffix is addition or subtraction of hours. Eg utc minus 5 is the timezone that is 5 hours behind utc etc.
