I do not think either system is better than the other. They are simply different. They both have advantages and disadvantages.

Because it limits choice.
People should have the right to form a political party that they feel represents the views they hold. When it comes to a multi-party system, the success depends on the electoral system that is in use.
For example, in Italy, which has several large parties, they almost always have to have a coallition government and they rarely last the full term for which they were elected.
Germany has many parties, but seems to run a stable system.
And of course the UK, which unlike the two above, does not have proportional representation, but unlike the USA, has three major parties (four in Wales and Scotland).

A two-party system is much worse than a multi-party system.
In a multi-party system, each group needs to cooperate and worth together to accomplish anything. That prevents any one party from going off the deep end and trying to claim control.
In a two-party system, it's too easy to deadlock along partisan lines, and too easy for one party to seize control.
