What did the Wikipedia article on bluegrass music mean when it said that bluegrass never was folk music under a strict definition?

Bluegrass music was developed in the late 40's by Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys, featuring Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs who provided Bluegrass' hard driving sound. Bluegrass was a refinement of 'Old Timey' music which was a evolution of folk music brought by immigrants to the Appalachian mountains. As time went on songs that came from such countries as Ireland and Scotland became the basis of songs that were sung and played with instruments such as guitars, fiddles, and banjos. Eventually, new songs would be written in the manner of which we know as Bluegrass Music today.
