For me, the primary advantages of a mobile boarding pass are:
No need to get in line at the airline counter and you can go straight to security.
You can sneak in your carry-on or personal bag without them inspecting the size or weight. Sure, some budget airlines still check at the boarding gate, but they only usually pick out bags that are obviously too large.
You usually have to register with an email to access your qr code on an airline’s app, so yes you will definitely be getting emails for promos and such. If you don’t want that, you can use a throwaway email when buying tickets ans registering on their app. The qr code is the boarding pass itself. So if you insist on printing a boarding pass, then just request one at the check-in counter.
