This sentence does not make sence because it is applicable to everything

> There’s nothing inherent to the X that guarantees you free access to its content.

Libraries, public transport? Taxes. Love of your parents? Depends on them.

Give me something for which I can say use the phrase and it will be true.

Well it does make sense in the context where it comes from: it's an explanation for why the author of that quote thinks that it is not irony. And you are free to disagree with that opinion, but I wouldn't say that the sentence makes no sense.

I could do the same with you: this sentence does not make sense:

> Taxes.
