You can do the same thing in the US with Apple Pay and the like. They're pretty widely accepted nowadays.

I don't really see how Apple Pay backed by a credit card or debit card is any different from how a QR code system would work in practice.

Big difference is QR code based payments in india are absolutely free, no processor is allowed to charge a fee for such payments. In fact that’s the fundamental crux of what we are talking about here so I’m not sure why Apple Pay working is relevant unless it has no hidden fees to the merchant.
