Returning ESTA is defined as having entered once before as VWP, not necessarily the same ESTA. This was confirmed on businessclass.se. Further, the CBP website is out of date, it still talks about a QR code which is no longer a thing. The App itself doesn’t have any language mentioning “returning”, just VWP travelers in general.
