Why is the qr code different than the deposit address for DAI?

When trying to receive DAI on the android app... I get the contract address for DAI, not the Coinbase address. I almost sent the coins to 0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f which is the DAI contract address. There is an actual address to deposit to but the QR code scans as 'ethereum:0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f/transfer'??? People could easily lost money to this. I even found someone who did lose money to it on the MakerDAO subreddit from a year ago? Wth? Here's the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/makerdao/comments/hgujt3/_/?

My point is it's not - the QR code scans in as a different address than the one below it.
