It's true that it would simplify international communication, but languages have a lot of built-in cultural context, in that people use their language through their unique cultural lens. By consolidating, you have the side effect of watering down cultures. This is why you see efforts to preserve and restore world languages.

That said, in a globalized world, the extinction of non-dominant languages is likely inevitable in the long term.
