Accessibility feedback: QR codes can create barriers

I recently joined the Xbox Accessibility Insider League and completed one of the accessibility activities.
One thing I noticed is that the activity used a QR code to bring me to the Xbox accessibility website.
For me, that can be difficult because I use one hand, and scanning a QR code is not always the easiest way to access something.
I think it would be better if there was also a normal clickable link as an alternative.
The second issue I noticed was once I got to the accessibility website itself.
There was a lot of text, but I could not find a simple way to highlight one piece of text and have only that part read aloud.
I know screen readers and narrator features exist, but they often read everything on the screen. What I am talking about is something more selective.
For example:
Highlight one paragraph or one piece of text → press Read Aloud → hear only that selected text.
For someone like me who can struggle with reading long or complicated text, that would make the site much easier to use.
I just thought it was worth pointing out because an accessibility activity should also be as accessible as possible in the way people access and read the information.
