Why isn’t there a universal sign language? One that everyone around the world could learn so that they would be understood no matter where they lived, or travelled to? Who decided it was a better idea to have more than one?

Sign language isn’t a modern invention, it wasn’t decided that it was better to have more than one. This is the same as saying “who decided it was a better idea to have more than one spoken language?”
As an interesting aside. a spoken language called “esperanto” that was intended to be universal was invented in the late 1800s but obviously it never took off.
