Right we all know about the new passbook app in ios 6 beta 1, and we know that it currently cant be used. But what I have heard that u have to use 3rd party applications to scan QR Codes for use for passbook, I thought to my self one night when I was in bed that why cant apple use there own default camera app to scan QR Codes we'll just have to wait and see in later beta's.

While QR codes are almost everywhere (on your wall, on the lamp post, on pamplets) , QR codess is still a gimmick. I don't see myself scanning QR codes on a daily basis.
If I wanted to scan QR codes on the spot, I can simply download a app less than 10mb (or even 5?) from the app store right away.

I'm not a developer, so I don't know how Apple really works. But from my standpoint, Apple doesn't always include stuff that people will not use alot. And I mean on a daily, regular basis.
However, I still agree. Since Apple has put on the passbook feature, it should be logical to put a QR code scanner on it to complement the app. :)

Great idea though. Perhaps it could be implemented as a minor update on iOS 6.1?

It should contain the ability to wirelessly upgrade the hardware for your device. Just sayin.

iOS will never do those ever, especially the last one. Get a Droid.
