Side question: Why is nobody making QR codes on web pages clickable (regardless if it’s an image or text-based)? Not every QR code represents a URL, of course, but many do. Maybe there should be a qrcode URL scheme that lets browsers behave the same way as a camera scanning a QR code.

If they know it's a url, all they need to do is wrap it in an <a> tag. Laziness probably wins out though.
I am surprised no browser/OS that I've seen allows scanning them from the screen using an interface like the one used to take a screenshot.
