WHO SAYS that people shouldn't speak more than one language?
If everyone only spoke their mother-tongue, we would not be able to speak to people of other countries and languages.
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT that the native language of most people in the world is different to our own, if we could only speak our own language, we would not be able to speak to most people in the world! That sounds like a severe disadvantage!
THINK OF IT! If everyone only spoke their own language and no other language, international trade and diplomacy would be impossible, foreign holidays would be a nightmare, we could never learn about the way of life in other countries or how to cook the food they enjoy. We could never share scientific or medical knowledge, we could never properly communicate with foreign people! And we might still think that spaghetti grows on trees. And think of all the literature and ancient writings that have been translated into other languages. We would know nothing of civilization's history if we did not know other languages or if people never took the trouble to translate from one language to another.
IT IS TRUE that not everyone has the desire to learn another language, but those that do learn other languages realise that it has many advantages.
