Might be obsolete after a bit though. A QR code only points to a URL and that might change (unlikely, but after 20 years...)

A QR code can also just contain plain text. It's just usually used for URLs.

Plain text can also encode plain text. Why are we complicating this?

because a qr code containing the ~15k characters of the paper would be a full back piece of tiny dots. Probably unreadable anyways.
