In what world is this the case? Boerboel, Cane Corso, Presa Canario, Filha Brasilero, these are all 50+ kg dogs that are in no way docile. And there are plenty of smaller breeds that are docile. I think the main reason is that, as an owner of a large breed, you have to train your dog to some extent, or it will seriously hurt someone. Smaller breed owners often seem content with just picking up their dog in their arms when they get aggressive, or just laughing it away by calling it feisty or a diva or some other nonsense. Being an irresponsible small dog owner simply doesn’t come with the same down sides as being an irresponsible muscle dog owner.

We probably just bred them that way. Unmanageable dogs were undesirable and bred out

No no, it’s the reverse; the little shits are bred that way.
