A few years ago a lot of it actually was. Mainly some of the intro to ______ courses, which I would argue is where a lot of the “ivy league prestige” stems from - the idea of learning about the world from the best... Not sure about now.
Many courses are, there's just no systematic uploading of them I'm aware of except MITs open courseware so you have to search around. The only stuff that's really never uploaded are small seminar/discussion courses. Like nearly every STEM prof that writes their own course notes has them up somewhere, though you can't really do that with like a music humanities discussion course.

Anything you would be taught there can be learned at a state school, much of it is already online.
The purpose of Ivy League schools is getting credentials & networking.

fwiw MIT has a lot of its course material online with recorded lectures
MIT is a bit better than your average "elite" schools at sharing educational resources with the general public. But still not great.
