What you say is true, but:
Pitties are only bad if they get into a fight.
They are very capable dogs, bred by humans to fight to damage or even kill, which is unlike natural dog behavior, which is to get submission, but not to damage the other dog too much. Generally speaking, most other breeds will stop fighting sooner.
The 'pack' breeds are indicative of this less damaging behavior. The packs need a hierarchy, but a dog which damaged another pack dog meant the owner lost money, and that 'alpha' dog wasn't bred.
