My understanding is that the STM (runs the Métro) likes to keep fares on the actual paper tickets or rechargeable card, rather than in some central database.
The paper tickets can hold many fares, including unlimited evening fares or two day fares. I believe this would be hard to pull off with QR codes without having to keep track centrally.
