Positive caster is the setting that centers steering after a turn.
Your comment about positive caster making it difficult to steer is true, particularly if you crank it up to high numbers like 7 degrees.

I worked in the suspension industry for a number of years…..

Many vehicles (even without power steering) drive very well with caster of about 7 degrees.
If anyone is having trouble visualizing the effects that the caster setting can have on handling and stability, visualize riding a bicycle (or motorcycle) with neutral or negative caster:
