I have a rottie. If someone told me she bit them, I'd want to know what the hell they did to make her bite them. She's never shown any aggression.

Rottweilers are chill as fuck with a very high anger threshold but also have a very strong protective streak and the build to back it up. That can go haywire if the owner is an idiot, paranoid, or such. If she recognises you as pack leader and you're not then there's not really much to worry, though some German states require character tests for all Rottweilers or they have to wear muzzles. If something like that is available where you are I'd definitely recommend it, they're a working breed consider it vocational training.

And they can growl like fucking Cerberus. Why bite when a little intimidation does the trick.

Because the only time breed is correlated for aggression is tiny terriers, but that was likely due to the same gene making legs shorter. It's really hard to breed for/against aggression, but it's easy to breed for stuff like stubby legs.

The difference is size. A 120lb aggressive dog is more dangerous than a 60lb aggressive dog
