All i will say is they have their hands full. This is not a pet, this dog is a weapons system.
I met the dog recently, i am very comfortable around any breed.
I would not be alone with this dog.
I hope you know what you have got in to. These dogs need a job. They are K9, security, or similar.
These are not pets. My friend Mike would be the first to tell you he regrets getting this dog as a pet. Be careful and understand the liability of owning an animal like this.
This dog has bonded with my Friiend’s wife and has attacked my buddy 3 times. They are that protective.

While I understand your sentiments, Belgian Malinois certainly make great working dogs but also can be great pets. Our first shepherd was a Belgian Groenendael, next was GSD mixed with Mastiff.
Hawk is our 2 year old Malinois. He is an amazing dog- smart and hard working. We walk and work him (scent). he wears a Fi collar and his step count is between 30k and 85k daily. 2 of his brothers live in town and they are pets also. I have no doubt that he would protect us with his life but I would have no problem with him being with anyone. Best dog I have had!
