I think the title is a bit misleading. If I'm reading correctly, the "backdoor" allows a computer to peek and poke memory and other low-level functions of its own USB Bluetooth adapter. I don't this this is usable over the air?
Undocumented debugging commands like this are common. I've worked with at least two chips, a WiFi adapter and a GPS receiver, that had similar functions. Neither was documented, but found by reverse engineering the chip firmware or vendor drivers. It's not exactly an impactful issue on its own. Anything that allows unsigned firmware is equally vulnerable.
If I'm misunderstanding and this is usable from anything other than the host, that would be a very different story.
