What it means
というわけではない is used to deny an interpretation, conclusion, or broad claim about the preceding plain clause. It commonly means “it is not that...” or “that does not mean...,” and often leaves room for a more limited or nuanced explanation rather than asserting the complete opposite. The form is used in both formal and ordinary written or spoken language; its polite sentence-ending counterpart is というわけではありません.
Usage note
This form often corrects an overgeneralization, so it does not necessarily mean that the preceding proposition is completely false in every respect. 必ずしも normally appears before a negative predicate within the proposition being qualified, as in 必ずしも...ない; it is not normally a contrasting follow-up expression after というわけではない.
