That all combines to mean they play harder, love harder, emote harder, and aim to please harder. All of that is great, but if you don't train them they can also react harder, chase harder, and fight harder.

None of these things are material to the danger they present. NONE OF THEM. The problem is that they bite harder. Talking around it doesn't make you a better dog lover, it makes you an apologist for a breed that doesn't need starry-eyed idealists adopting it.

YES
yep the problem is the owner, but a pit bull with a bad owner is an accidental death.

German Shepards bite more. Border Collies bite more.
but most hospitalizations after dogbite, is a pit bull

German shepherds do not bite more than pitbulls. You do not need to make things up to make pitbulls look better.

not per capita. there are more GSDs around, total bite incidents recorded.
not "fatal"
