All tracks are not created equal, a C tower is something that was designed for high bite indoor... If you are running a c-hub on an outdoor medium to low bite track your setup is broken.
C Towers were designed to free the car up on high bite (as you stated). That very fact means the A tower would lock the car in more. I agree you shouldn't be running C tower on low bite but he never stated the surface and logic would dictate if he was on a low bite loose track, he would have too much steering and not enough rear bite. Hence me saying C hub.

how does more rear toe give you more aggressive turn IN. Toe affects traction as you apply power. Going into a turn you usually not on power. Middle and exit is where you apply power. Less traction from less toe translates to more rotation.

Am I completely wrong here? LOL. Wouldn't be the first time...

But to me they made my b4.1 feel so awful. We do all drive differently.
C always made my car feel more stable, which anyone who knows me I complained that A hubs made my car feel broken every time I tried them last winter. So yeah, it's a feel thing and everyone is different.
