"Ignorant fear" is a poor term to use. There are dogs that are dangerous due to the physical strength, not necessarily their disposition. But when those breeds do have an aggressive disposition, they can certainly be dangerous. It happens regularly. Just because someone's precious doberman, or pit bull, or such is their baby does not make the issue "ignorant fear". You are probably more likely to get bitten by a small high strung dog. But the result is much less severe.
Insurance and liability issues are real. As a small business owner myself, I know what the consequences can be of an event most would considered an insignificant issue. It can lead to a nightmare situation for the business owner.
So yes, you will encounter places that simply prohibit dogs that could be considered dangerous. Along with any other activity that could fall in the same category.
I hear you on the liability thing but banning based on breed is silly. There are lots of larger dogs that could cause just as much damage as a Doberman if they attacked someone.
Either the dog is trained or they are not. Distinguishing by breed has nothing to do with training.
Nevertheless I understand sometimes insurance companies dictate the rules.
What is silly is a dog maybe banned at one place but I can drive a mile down the road or across the street and he is welcomed without issue.
In the end I have no problem finding a CG willing to take my $$$
