So the QR code is remote. If you fetch it could look like the recipient
read the email, encouraging more spam to that account.

Unfortunately, yes that's right :-(

It's generally a bad idea for any mail software to automatically fetch remote content without conscious specific human initiative for mail which is not carefully authenticated, with careful attention to which trusted senders are authorized to trigger such retrievals.

(Yes, I know that some garbage MUAs break that rule. That's no reason to make the same reckless mistake in server-side filtering.)
