Then maybe there should not be dependence between this command and scan/connect.

In extended advertising there is no such thing as connectable and scannable at the same time When device is connectable, then address and optionally advertising data is in the aux ptr (secondary channel) Please also remember that it is up to controller to connect / scan on secondary PHY based on primary PHY provided by host. Meaning, host controls primary channel only, which can be 1M or Coded.
