NFC seems like a solution in search of a problem to me. What does it accomplish that QR codes or any other optical scan technology doesn't?

The metro system in the DC area uses NFC (or something similar?) for its reloadable fare cards. I can just tap my wallet on the scanner, without having to take the card out. It's very convenient.
