I think that's what makes it so special. If a particular culture has a way of saying something, they aren't confined to rigid rules. They can take the base concepts and modify them in a way that suits them while also maintaining a common vernacular with the "motherland."

Ok, but let’s just assume for a second that there was some standard.

Your statement would still be true.

Nobody is “confined to rigid rules” unless we also make the Grammar Police a real thing.
