Why so? QR is just an arbitrary url in image form. If anything EMV is both overcomplicated AND insecure. Eg the whole class of vulnerabilities from card theft

Eg the whole class of vulnerabilities from card theft and card skimming disappears with QRs
Edit: I mean you could have a computer screen display the QR. How are you going to MITM between the screen and your phone?
