Correct, no one owns a wikia. Admins and bureaucrats are not owners, nor are they bosses or anything of the sort. They’re simply users who have been entrusted with a few extra editing and maintenance tools in order to make sure a wikia can run as smoothly as possible. Communities are in charge, and communities get to make decisions. That's why communities hold votes, and why they can choose who their admins and bureaucrats are.
