The BIP has changed to adopt a DH cryptosystem where the receiver only shares a 
public key in the BIP 21 as part of the pj= endpoint since Adam posted 
comments. I agree enabling the simplest asynchronous experience while, as I 
gather you’re thinking, keeping the UX expectation that leaked BIP 21 URIs pose 
no risk for loss of funds is the right set of tradeoffs.
