Everyone uses grammar. What you're describing is elitism and elevating one particular dialect above all others.

According to the wide definition of grammar, everyone uses some grammar, but nevertheless it's not a category error to say "*this sentence got grammar mistake".

When we speak about the grammar for a language/dialect we imply a prescribed "correct" grammar for a particular community of speakers.
