I think you are right on track with your observation. Another thing I might add:
QR codes can just be printed, by everybody with a printer. Designers don't need to think a lot about technical details, they just put the QR code into their layout and send it off to the printing press (or in fact the screen).
Additionally because QR Codes are optical, it doesn't matter if you stand 20 meters away from the billboard if the QR code is big enough, while with NFC you would have to come close.
