Correct response is to come off the throttle-and that's what the VSC is mimicing-and counter steer.
Loss of traction is predominately operator error.
Couner steering with traction control on brings the vehicle back into line-that's how it works.......
A lot of the thinking here explains the pictures of cars wrapped around trees on the nightly news....

I live in a snowy climate, so that's what i'm referring to. I can lose traction going under 5mph. It happens almost every day. I flip on vsc sport every day here during the winter because it causes problems for the system to be completely active. During the summer I don't have a need to turn off the systems because if i lose traction at 70mph on the highway i'm screwed either way
