Especially crypto-currencies where even on Linux systems, the client is

QR codes pose the same problem but it is more difficult to trick a user
into scanning a QR code, so it is harder to get the user's client to
launch via a trick.
Another thing to consider, most crypto-currencies use the same Qt client
codebase - so it is easy for a web site to specify a price in one
crypto-currency but use the URI scheme for a different one, and some
users may not realize the wrong client launched until it is too late and
can't be undone.
e.g. `Please donate 3 QRK - that's all I ask'
but 3 bitcoins are sent before the user realize it was bitcoin-qt that
the link launched.
