I can understand your reasoning,however, have you ever had a sick 130 lb dog? Carrying them to the car and into the vets office is quite a job!
Speaking as someone with a bad back, I chose the Yorkie breed for two specific reasons: 1) they are hypoallergenic, 2) because of their size.

I have had to care for sick dogs both medium sized ~ 20-40 lbs, as well as large ones~ 130-160 lbs. Let me just say, that it is a lot easier to get a 4-7 lb dog to the emergency vet than the later, especially with any kind of disability. For me, and my son who is disabled, small in size was essential. It had nothing to do with the pups being an accessory, however, as you have clearly stated, for some an accessory is all they want; and that I do not care for!
