That's a very extreme generalisation!

Very few translations of the Bible are actually in the public domain. The overwhelming majority of Bible translations are still in copyright.

Remember that a translation gets its own copyright, based on the year of death of the translator. Whether or not the original source material is in the public domain is entirely irrelevent.
