Just compare with today's internet advertising. Legit websites are still full of somewhat malicious ads. And users click on it - of course, since that's what a website is for.
What I'm trying to make clear is that there is no such case where QR scanners, browsers or application may consider a safe context where the user implicitly consents with malicious actions by the QR/website/...
