Basically when OBD-II rolled out in 1996, code scanners were so few and far between that the ECMs would retest much longer cycles. You could clear codes and eek through, so CARB and EPA required shorter retesting periods.
The "clear" function clears some non-historical codes, but when the ECM re-runs the tests, they'll come right back if they're still failing. So it won't work for a smog check with any car made in the last 15-20 years.
It's still a concern for a test drive, so you should definitely test drive a car for 15 minutes of run time, and then retest with a scan tool after.
Bluetooth range is only 90ft and most devices identify the device that's trying to pair. There's also pins required on both ends for devices of a certain class and indicator icons when you're tethering via Bluetooth.
Not to mention, the nefarious person would need to know the MAC address of the device you originally paired to and most of those dongles don't have more than a 15ft range... so they'd be pretty close by when grabbing this.
Works great for pulling codes and resetting lights.

I've done this on my last two cars actually.
Also the light indicator for codes and no codes is redundant but, nonetheless adds to the user friendliness of it.
Launch makes a lot of more advanced readers also. This is a really good one for the price compared to the $20 type code only black and white readers, especially with the extra functions and ease of use.
I own two other $300+ readers for specific advanced stuff, but always defer to this one for initial quick checking and smog readiness checking.
2. You can imagine that dealer mechanics can "fix" any issue with their proprietary tools because their company made the car.

And you can imagine those handy with electronics are happy hacking around the same systems.
You can get a car to pass....just need to know the right ways.

When the battery gets pulled or a reset code is sent, the DCT Readiness memory gets cleared.
These readiness checks are what determine whether the car can be smogged or not.
Each car has different requirements, but most can clear readiness in under an hour of driving and much less if you have a shop manual with required procedures.
There's no standard for OBDII which requires past codes be stored anywhere on the ECU. With that said, most severe codes will throw well before you finish clearing DCT readiness.
I won't say how I know this.

Deal is still alive.
