These "GM TECH 2" can do things HPTuners cant right? Things like override TPMS, open ABS valves for bleeding, etc.
So to have a complete DIY station I would need both; right?

HPT can only work with ECM and TCM

Tech 2 can work with ABS, BCM, etc.

But, Tech 2 can only change/do stuff GM intended where HPT can change all kinds of tables GM wouldn't want us messing with

So both have pluses/minuses depending on what you want to do

Only way to disable TPMS is the LG box, or rig up sealed tube at set pressure and put the TPMS sensors in it.

Pretty sure it only works up to mid year 2012 model. At some point in the 2012 model year GM changed the interface method/tool. At this point the tech 2 became obsolete.
