I’m content to be wrong and continue calling them legos.

If you're calling them Legos, you're actually correct. Brands don't get to invent their own grammar. Legos are Legos.

In finland we basically have to make the word lego a plurar, cause saying "Leikitkö legolla" literally is taken as "are you playing with a singular lego piece", but saying it "Leikitkö legoilla" means ""Are you playing with legos" implying you have more than one lego peace.

Each individual piece is not called a lego, it’s a lego piece or lego brick, so no it’s not correct grammar to say legos.

So you’re playing with one individual Lego piece or Lego brick then I take it? Sounds kinda boring but you do you

No that would be called lego bricks, the irony of your comment about grammar is astounding.

what organization are you using as the rulemaker for "correct" grammar?

The fact that its a lego brick, not a lego. Learn basic English and you'd understand this.
