Not relevant to my statement of having to wait for SMS messages (text or
QR image content) nor there is no guaranteed delivery of SMS messages.
 
To where is the SMS message sent?  To the phone.  Okay, I'll see an SMS
message with a QR image.  Then what?  Do SMS apps have embedded scanning
of the content of SMS messages to then use an embedded QR decoder to
show the text embedded in the image (which obviates the whole point of
supposedly securing the text string in an image) that I then have to
copy/paste into some web prompt? 

  AFAICT, "an SMS message with a QR image" is a figment of your
imagination!

  I think such a thing is not mentioned anywhere and not even implied
anywhere.

  The referenced articles mention that *use* of a code in an SMS message
will be replaced by *use* of a QR code, but that does not mean that the
QR code is *in* an SMS message. (I think that would be obvious, because
an SMS message is too small to hold a QR code, not to mention that it
can only hold character data, not binary data.)

  So perhaps it's best to come up with an actual quote from the
referenced articles, which leads you to your assumption, instead of
going on and on about something which is very likely a straw man / red
herring.
