It's always annoyed me how they don't at least have a shared QR code for the multi operator tickets, apparently even Stagecoach are getting QR readers for the tickets on their apps so I don't see why it can't be done.

It does exist. There was millions spent on NESTI to deliver this, and it's currently available on the much under-used POP Pay As You Go card. See: https://www.gonortheast.co.uk/pop-pay-as-you-go

It can be delivered cross-operator via Ticketer QR codes, as this article on the manufacturer website suggests: https://www.ticketer.com/en/article/tick...ancements/, but much like tap-on/tap-off, I guess a lot of it comes down to the priorities of operators.
