While it is true that there are some records that are not available online, it has little to do with being Mormon. Usually it means the data is still only available on a microfiche and has to be viewed in-person. The only exception to this rule is that FamilySearch has paid partnerships with a few organizations to aggregate their information. The LDS (Mormon) church only pays for church members to have access to that aggregated information. Non-church members have to get their own subscriptions.

So in short, being Mormon does give you access.
It sounds more like in short, Mormons pay for something anyone else can also pay for or get for free at the library.
