Well, depends. If you get stuck in deep snow, sometimes the only way to get
out is to allow some wheel spin. ESP will not allow too much wheel spin,
hence you switch it off to get going.

Yeah, in this special case, true. But then that would apply to mud also,
and then you should never have ESP on according to the first writer .
99,9% of the time, ESP should be kept on, at winter. It's the only thing
that can save from black ice.

OTOH, if it decides to go straight on when you're trying to turn right...
Been there, almost crashed into that - got to the off button just in time.
If I remember, I'll turn it back on for high-speed motorway runs.

ESP goes to the direction where you turn, if it doesn't, you should go
to service and say there's something wrong with it. If you play with
oversteer and turn to other direction to get it sorted, ESP will also
turn the car to that other direction (let it be out of the corner or
what, but that's where you're steering).
But otherwise, sounds like there's something wrong with your car, or
just bollocks, since disengaging ESP isn't something you have time to do
if the car is actually going out.
