I assume there must be a reason why sign language is superior but I genuinely don't know why.

You've got mixed up there. If you plan to learn multiple languages then it is beneficial to learn as a child but even similar languages, like English and French, can cause issues communicating when young. When learning vastly different languages especially when one is written and one signed it causes a lot of issues. This can leave a deaf child struggling to communicate for a time.

Often deaf parents will choose to stick to sign first.
