1) This was for my wife. She is not proficient in Linux or CLI in general, and (like ~all white collar workers these days) works almost exclusively in browser tools (exception being pre-O365 versions of Word and Excel we keep running on her laptop because she prefers them).

2) I never heard of `qrencode` CLI tool until today. For some reason I didn't even consider it might exist (maybe because last time I checked, which was many years ago, there was none).

3) Notably, no one mentioned it the last time I shared this story on HN - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44385049.

4) Even if I knew about it, I'd still have to build a web frontend for it, and I'd need a proper server for it, which I'd then have to maintain properly, and secure it against the `qrencode` call becoming an attack vector.

So frankly, for my specific problem, my solution is strictly better.
