Competent, nice owners of pitbulls raise nice doggies.
Pitbulls can do a ton of damage compared to some smaller dogs due to their strength and size.
Some smaller dogs like terriers seem to pick fights they can't win and get other dogs in trouble.
Other large dogs are just as strong as pitbulls and anti-pitball laws are a double standard. A golden retriever can do serious damage but everyone just thinks, "happy puppy".
Pitbulls are sought after by dogfighters.
Not a fan of breed-based laws generally but I could understand it as a proxy for going after dogfights or something.
Tell me how wrong I am lol I've thought about this for all of ten minutes.
I feel like it's a thing where pitbulls have a tendency to be more aggressive (same as terriers) but can do more harm. That said, that tendency isn't something that can't be overcome by training. Essentially I think more commonly aggressive breeds, like pitbulls and terriers should require some amount of training to be kept. That way there's just less conflict, and if anyone complains it's just telling on themselves that they were never going to train it anyway.
Aww yeah struggle sesh.
My hot take:

I like it
unfortunately 90% of dog owners have no idea how to properly socialize an animal. right now the minimum standard is "don't abuse it too bad."
Indeed. They also don't value the animal's life or well-being to a particularly high standard.
