Does just taking a pic of the QR code not work just as well?
It does, but then it's buried in your photos instead of on the home screen.
I don’t really believe that places that require membership cards are going to let users start creating their own, though.
Surely this was considered earlier within Apple. I wonder what changed that they decided to do this now.
What a relief. My awful workaround was photos of all my membership barcodes labeled with a sharpie so that I can search "Gym" or "Library" or whatever to pull them up from OCR indexing.

Most tickets don’t just come with a QR, it has other information like seating/metadata not in the QR that can only be captured in a photo.
I’ve always felt like Wallet is mostly a solution in search of a problem, but maybe more adoption will help? I don’t really believe that places that require membership cards are going to let users start creating their own, though.
Ticketing is a great use-case for it, I have flight tickets, concerts/events tickets, airport bus tickets, if it keeps expanding to integrate with even more tickets (my local public transportation system, the express train to the airport, more venues) it will only become more useful.
Edit: also, all of my cards, I haven't used a physical card at POS terminals in years, they only get used on ATMs.
