and in your opinion, what makes these dogs so versatile?

It has always been a versatile breed as are a lot of different breeds like the GSD. The drive and willingness to please I suppose.

Many different breeds are no longer used for the original purpose. I don't see many GSD doing herding (although I am sure some do) but I see a lot of them doing SCH and police work. It wasn't the original purpose, but the dog still has the drive and ability to do a more up to date task.

Does it mean the dogs still can't preform the original function? No. However as dog fighting is illegal where I live its not something I plan to do or study in detail. It doesn't mean I don't like or value the breed.
