I have never seen a linguist argue that. Usually the deference to native speakers is absolute, for good reason.

Unless you want to talk about an „international English“ or so.

You are somewhat right, I've seen it when reading about ELF (English as Lingua Franca).

But respected native English linguists were arguing that "English does not belong to native speakers"
