Commercial chemical pipe cleaning products don't foam that way. They are a strong base (opposite of acid) that creates bubbles as the clog material is chemically reduced.

You would also get bubbles by using vinegar and waiting. As the vinegar acid breaks down the clog, you get bubbles.

Putting baking soda in with the vinegar destroys it before it can work.

No one is using baking soda and vinegar to unclog drains, nor are we talking about this application. We are talking about using it to deodorise

Salt water does not deodorize. Baking soda alone can do it as can vinegar. Mixing them is the same as pouring water with a tiny bit of salt in the drain.
