Yes, it's an odd omission since they are both scanning codes, and barcodes are used extensively.

Although QR codes have more applications and can store more data than traditional barcodes, barcodes are still more prevalent in retail and logistics due to their simplicity, low cost, and the existing infrastructure supporting their use. QR codes, however, are becoming more common in marketing and consumer applications where their ability to store more information is an advantage.

The difference is that barcodes can already be trivially done using a font, and that should even work with the data merge features.

QR codes cannot be done with a font.
