I like to think of the more "noble" elves as being in that position out of respect from other elves. Would any elf try and put themselves above Fëanor even if he wasn't of a more noble birth? I don't think so. They would have sensed and seen his power and ability and given him respect. Sort of a free enterprise kinda thing, perhaps. If an elf that wasn't of any noble birth but had great skill and leading prowess wanted to be the next Lord of Rivendell I imagine that could happen. But maybe that skill and prowess runs in the family...
