then why didn't god make that predisposition one that would tend to cause people to do good rather than sin?

Well, supposedly we have a tendancy to sin since Adam and Eve.

Because He would determine your choice, and He doesn't do that.

God created man with TOTAL FREEDOM.
posse pecarae - posse non pecarae
But in Adam's fall, man lost his FREEDOM to choose good. His intentions are evil continually. (That is to say in EVERYTHING he does there is sin in it, and if we were truly left to do what we wanted without the common grace of God, we would ALL be Hitlers.)
There has only been a small amount of men in the history of the world that God has given the TRUE right to have the ability to truly do WHATEVER he wanted without regards to authority, examples... Hitler, Mussolini, Saddam. When a man has TRUE sovereignty his TRUE nature will really come out. And THAT is EVIL.
Only by God's grace can a man be spiritually alive and make choices between good and evil and that is not perfect either, till the end of time.

Because he also gave us the capacity to influence one another, and evil has been snowballing in the world pretty much since we crawled out of the sea.

You only have free will over your memories. 95% of what you do is automatic, based on those.
god didn't make anything so it's a moot part of the question.

Our fallen nature makes it impossible.
Man isn't a sinner because he sins, man sins because he is a sinner. Hard to grasp? Sinner is our nature.
