You underestimate the lowest common denominator. All of the normie/non tech people that I interact with in my day to day have zero interest in evading these things. They will just do whatever is asked to continue. If that means scanning a QR code with their phone, they will.

They people who famously hate QR codes and couldn't use them if they tried?

They will just not go to that website.
