Check in's drive testing rates, the more people they capture the better it is (for them). They'll have thousands of registrations to deal with. Unless they have specific software to deal with it, which I doubt, you'll simply get a text.

Why would you put yourself in the position of a test + quarantine + inconvenience to family and friends because you don't check out.

But then, it is up to the individual.
Where did you see that they were actually using the QR code check-in system to enforce close contact testing and quarantine? All I see in daily announcements is the Gov continuously telling people "if you've been to so and so place at so and so time, you need to go get tested and quarantine". It is again the same old self-policing tactic.

On the other hand, what they DO use the QR code for, is to track where each infected case has been to. That's how they come up with the close contacts exposure sites list.
Yeah you're right they're not gonna track everyone's every movement, but that argument also renders your fears of being forced into quarantine moot if you think about it.
