というものではない・
というものではない rejects an oversimplified rule or criterion: one condition may matter, but it is not enough by itself to support the general conclusion.
What the speaker is rejecting
The speaker is not necessarily denying that the stated factor has any value. The point is that it cannot serve as a complete rule: effort alone does not guarantee success, price alone does not establish quality, and one favorable result does not prove that everything is sound.
Rejecting a simple criterion
A natural sentence makes the inadequate rule or criterion easy to identify.
努力すれば、必ず成功するというものではない。
Effort alone does not guarantee success.
AnalyzeThe rejected rule is that effort always leads to success.
謝ればそれでいいというものではない。
Simply apologizing does not settle everything.
Analyze～ばいい presents a supposedly sufficient action, which the speaker rejects as inadequate.
有名な大学を出たからといって、仕事で成果を出せるというものではない。
Graduating from a famous university does not by itself mean that someone can produce results at work.
Analyzeからといって introduces the single reason that is not sufficient for the conclusion.
The two negative endings
というものではない and というものでもない overlap substantially. The second can sound slightly less categorical or leave more room for other possibilities, but there is no rigid meaning split; both reject the proposed rule as inadequate.
A less categorical variant
情報は多ければ多いほど役に立つというものでもない。
More information is not always more useful.
AnalyzeThe sentence questions the general rule that quantity automatically produces usefulness.
Choosing among similar negative expressions
というものではない criticizes the adequacy of a rule or criterion. わけではない more broadly corrects an inference or qualifies a particular description. とは限らない mainly says that exceptions are possible. ことにはならない says that a premise does not count as or logically produce a specific result.
