Why would a QR be more safe from containing malware than another medium like USB drive?

Is it just that the amount of data it holds is more constrained?

The USB protocol gives the drive access to all (physical) memory on the machine. QR codes only encode text (usually a URL but it can be any text).

Source? Unless you're using something like usb 4 (ie. thunderbolt) usb devices don't have DMA access.
