I share the lack of sentiment to hype and overusing its name and symbol but I cannot agree about the sentence I have quoted about.
The QR code comes with titles and URIs, which provides nice way how to share some information with a distinction of their type, i.e. a contact card, OTP passphrase, WiFi credentials (SSID/passphrase pair). Instead of providing a password, which is hard to spell out, we can just share an image and in a moment after scanning we are connected to the WiFi. Been there, works like a charm.
We can also use them to share data of multi-MB weight over just an animation combined with generated QRs [0].
