All dogs secrete a chemical that gives them a neutral pungent odor that some find disagreeable. Forgot the name, think it starts with an A?
This is different to dog breeds who have hanging lips, skin folds, oily coats, or longer fur, as those can lead to a different kind of bacterial smell from infections/rashes. If you don't bathe your dog and they go outdoors a lot, they are going to stink like the outdoors. No helping that.
As for shedding, that depends. Dogs with natural double coats tend to smell less if you bathe them, so their hair being all around your home doesn't exactly lead to dog stink everywhere. While dogs who shed less due to shaggy coats are going to smell bad if you don't regularly handle grooming.
Constant attention really depends on the dog, again. There are "cat-like" dogs like Sighthounds, Scenthounds, LGDs, Huskies, Chow Chows, Shibas (Asian Spitzes in general) who are more independent. But even those breeds are going to get separation anxiety if you leave them home alone for 12 hours a day. Dogs are naturally social and want to be with you/their pack.
Basically, what you said is true, but if you like dogs, none of that even matters.
