We were just talking about this yesterday with some friends, and they put it nicely as "Language has no master"

Perhaps more accurately put, the "English language has no master."

Many--perhaps most--European languages, do have prescriptivist masters. Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, and dozens more.

Even then, those "masters" only have limited control of the language.
