I think the reason they used QR codes was for longevity and ease of transfer. Even if computer technology changes drastically and conventional storage is nothing like it once was, we'll still be able to scan QR codes because all you need is something to render them. Also, any device with a screen can be the means to download a file. Plus, there's a (well-backed) mindset that it's easier for people to upload and manage images online than files.

That being said, I'd still rather they go with direct file download.
