Some complain about that, but personally, I see the "exclusive" rights as primarily being about things that have no point if you are not Sámi anyway.
I remember some years ago, there was a huge debate in the forums of Vårt Land, Norway's largest Christian newspaper, between one advocate for these exclusive rights, and one furious opponent. The funny thing was that the proponent was a super-samophile southerner who had learned the language and moved north, while the opponent was a (genetically, at least) full Sámi who just happened to be an old school Marxist who hated rights based on nationality.
