love.update is called every frame.

ESCdown is assigned a value once and then never changes.

Consider using keyboard events:

https://love2d.org/wiki/love.keypressed

It even gives an example for what you want to do:

function love.keypressed(key, scancode, isrepeat)
   if key == "escape" then
      love.event.quit()
   end
end
