I guess the assumption is that people just click "sure" when asked for location info "because whatever". I don't use these QR codes, but so many things apps and websites seem to ask for it, it probably doesn't stand out as much as it should. And especially in a situation where you're distracted by your friends or that exciting date or whatever after a beer or two I could imagine me doing that as well to be honest. I'm not stupid, but I'm also not on 100% alert all the time.
