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

I knew a 3/4 deaf girl who had learned ASL, who had a bf who was fully deaf from birth… he did send her videos of himself signing.

Sure, lots of couples send videos to each other.

But I doubt that was their sole method of conversation

I meant more of general conversation, like instead of scrolling comments on here, we had to watch a video of what everyone say without knowing where it was going.

Completely impractical

Well, it's not like being handicaped is practical.
People with disability have to deal with impractical situation all the time bc what is practical for able people is just not faisable or extremely unpractical for them, and society is far from being inclusive.
