Why do I naturally pocket balls better with outside spin?

I find thatlLong extreme cut shots I should be straight ball as it’s so hard to judge the amount the ball will deflect over that long distance and if it needs to be a really extreme cut then you risk missing it altogether?
Depends. Sometimes you need the CB going rail to rail for position or just staying away from the pockets. Others, you may want the OB moving at pocket speed without bending into the end rail.
 
All I can offer is that I am glad that I don't shoot good enough to have to worry about this stuff. I use a little outside if I cant hit the OB thin enough because of an obstruction, I use inside if I need it for position or if its a thin frozen rail shot, and center ball for a stop or stun shot (my favorite shots because I know exactly where cue ball is headed).
 
Rail first is a good way to get a feel for exactly where I am striking the cueball. Sometimes it's not where I thought it was.
My simple kick practice is rack 'em 3 ball, break then kick them in. A week of this after I had quit my day job allowed me to execute my greatest big boys tournament accomplishment. 🤷‍♂️
It's good for the mind and body. Do it as a fitness program an hour a day for a week. Pay Attention to the form! Ready set go. 😉
