I remember back when they first started getting popular I was at a conference and told a marketing person that we should make one instead of giving folks a long url. The marketing person said “I don’t know if we have the budget to register one.”
I used to think that this was because the marketing person didn’t know how they worked, but now I know that they thought it worked like UPCs.

I remember back around 2009, there were a few of these in the newspaper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Capacity_Color_Barcode
I don’t know how well it worked given the loose color registration. I didn’t have anything that could read them at the time.
Are you sure they weren’t just test colors? Most newspapers have them.
I cannot imagine what information they needed to encode that required that level of information density.
